About Kristine

Kristine Edwards is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who aims to help people reclaim their voice and sense of direction. She invites clients to take an active role in shaping goals and decisions. Her style is collaborative and direct, focused on finding practical steps that move a person forward.

Kristine draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where individuals can be heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.

Background and approach

These methods are used to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. With 19 years of experience, Kristine frames sessions as a partnership. She offers coaching-style guidance alongside exploratory conversation to clarify values, priorities, and next steps.

Sessions often emphasize identifying barriers and trying small, concrete changes between meetings. People come to her for help with relationships, self-esteem, career direction, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse recovery, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients facing intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and depression.

Kristine practices from Michigan and communicates in English. Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping someone move from feeling stuck to having a clearer plan and more confidence in making choices.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping each person feel understood. Online sessions using this approach prioritize giving people space to describe their situation and values, which helps shape next steps and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them. In remote sessions CBT often includes simple exercises, tracking thoughts or actions between meetings, and trying new responses in daily life.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Kristine collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That process can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. For people in Michigan who prefer remote care, these formats let a licensed professional provide steady, practical support without needing to travel.

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.
