About Kristie
Kristie Fleurimond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 14 years of experience. She focuses on family and relationship concerns along with stress, anxiety, trauma, mood issues, and related challenges. Kristie approaches each person with respect and compassion.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried about reaching out. Her style is straightforward and people-centered. She listens first, then adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around practical steps and clearer communication, not jargon. Parents and adults often find this helpful when family problems become overwhelming. Kristie uses several evidence-based methods to guide work in therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions that matter to the client. Trauma-Focused and mindfulness techniques support processing difficult experiences and calming the nervous system.
She also works on specific issues like blended family problems, communication breakdowns, body image, infidelity, and codependency. Mood disorders such as bipolar and depression are part of her practice as well. The approach is flexible and shifts as needs change during treatment.
Practical matters such as cost and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions may occur by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kristie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when thoughts and feelings are hard to change. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety.She also draws on Trauma-Focused and mindfulness techniques when past hurts affect daily functioning. These methods involve noticing bodily responses, grounding skills, and step-by-step processing of difficult memories in a way paced to the client. Choosing the right model is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls let people keep visual connection when that matters. Phone, live chat, and text messaging give shorter or lower-pressure ways to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a family schedule and to continue support during life transitions.
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.
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.
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.
