About Kristie

Kristie Rorex is a licensed therapist in Louisiana with 15 years of professional experience. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Kristie focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and depression.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming for people seeking help. Her sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation. Kristie creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding. Kristie addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also works with divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, and coping after disasters.

Her approach is collaborative. She supports people as they set practical goals and try small changes between sessions. Progress is measured in everyday terms like calmer reactions, clearer conversations, and better routines.

Kristie practices with the aim of empowering clients to manage symptoms and improve relationships. She offers sessions using several online formats for flexibility. People who prefer direct, compassionate support and practical steps may find her style a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she relies on involves exploring patterns in relationships and attachment to help people understand why they react the way they do and try new responses. This can be useful for problems like abandonment fears, codependency, and repeated communication breakdowns.

Another approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and manage stress day to day. That work includes practicing new routines, testing small behavior changes between sessions, and building clearer communication in family situations. These techniques often help with grief, depression, and the daily strain of caregiving or blended family adjustments.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Kristie will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and treatment more accessible. These options allow people to meet from home or another convenient place, and to choose the format that best suits their lifestyle and comfort.
