About Krista

Krista Holeman is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) who aims to help families and parents manage common life stresses. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps. Sessions are grounded in everyday concerns like anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and mood changes.

Her approach is collaborative and centered on what each family or person needs right now. Krista has nine years as a licensed therapist and counselor, and she completed a master’s degree in counseling in 2015.

Background and approach

Her work has involved adolescents, adults, families, couples, and people dealing with substance use. She pays attention to building rapport so people feel heard before moving to problem-solving. In sessions she draws on several well-known methods, choosing the right tools for the situation.

That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings, or attachment-focused ideas when relationships are central. She explains options and tries techniques that fit the client’s daily life. Parents often come for help with behavior, communication, and balancing roles.

Krista also addresses a wide range of concerns such as depression, addiction, ADHD, trauma and intimacy issues. She presents strategies in clear steps so families can try small changes between sessions. Krista practices in Nebraska and offers sessions in English.

She describes therapy as a team effort and helps people choose approaches that match their goals and values.

Therapeutic approaches that work online for families

Krista commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people change how they connect with partners, children, and other family members to improve communication and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krista asks about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She then suggests methods and adjusts them together with clients so the plan fits the family’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists and parents see dynamics and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, childcare, and other responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
