Kris Horton, LIMHP - Therapist in Nebraska

About Kris

Kris Horton is a licensed mental health practitioner in Nebraska who uses practical, skills-based therapy to address everyday struggles. She draws on 17 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and family difficulties. Kris emphasizes clear goals and steady progress in sessions.

She treats trauma and abuse concerns while working to reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Her approach begins with listening to each person's story and identifying strengths that can be used in therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on learning tools to handle difficult thoughts and strong emotions. Kris uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. In practical terms she will work through specific problems like communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and mood swings.

The work often includes skill practice and small, manageable steps toward change. Kris aims to help people feel more in control and more connected in their relationships. Parents and caregivers looking for clear, straightforward support will find an emphasis on usable strategies rather than jargon.

She balances compassion with direct guidance to help families move forward. Progress is measured in real improvements in daily functioning and interactions. Sessions are conducted in English and organized around each person’s needs and pace.

Kris encourages anyone taking the first step to reach out and review how her methods may fit their goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks big problems into smaller parts and teaches practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and mood swings.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It is useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts by teaching concrete skills to respond differently in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Treatment can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback at each step.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy families and caregivers. These formats let people practice skills between meetings and fit therapy into a weekly routine. The variety of options makes it easier to keep continuity of care and to use the approach that best fits daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
