About Kristine

Kristine Boehnke is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make small, practical changes that add up. She focuses on concrete steps and strengths people already have. Kristine keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so clients can see progress over time.

She has six years of professional experience and works from Texas. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and trouble with focus and attention such as symptoms related to ADHD.

Background and approach

Kristine also supports people navigating relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. In a typical session she listens closely, asks clear questions, and highlights what is already working. She helps clients set short-term goals and tries simple strategies they can use right away.

The aim is to build on practical solutions rather than getting stuck on problems. Kristine values a collaborative approach. She invites clients to name what matters most and then crafts brief, doable steps toward those goals.

This can include strategies for managing panic or intrusive thoughts, improving communication, and addressing shame or guilt. For parents and caregivers looking for guidance, Kristine offers focused, action-minded support that keeps daily life in view. Her style is direct but warm, intended to help people feel more capable and less overwhelmed as they move forward.

Solution-Focused Work Online and Practical Support

Kristine primarily uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term approach that homes in on clear goals and small steps that make daily life easier. It is useful for stress, anxiety, motivation, focus issues, and moving through specific problems without getting stuck on long histories.

Her sessions emphasize identifying strengths and what is already working, then using that as a foundation for change. This method usually involves setting one or two concrete goals and trying simple strategies between meetings to test what helps. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust steps together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide whether solution-focused methods fit their needs, and adapts plans based on goals and preferences. The process is practical and shared, not something decided only by the therapist.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy lives. These formats let people connect from home, during breaks, or when travel is difficult. The flexibility supports steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
