Kristine Fournier, LPC - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Kristine

Kristine Fournier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who uses a warm, client-centered approach. She focuses on practical conversations that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to tailor support to each person’s situation.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new habits. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming and people need tools for regulation and better coping.

Background and approach

These methods are applied to a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, parenting, addiction, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Kristine has seven years of professional experience in counseling settings and works with topics like communication problems, blended family issues, and multicultural concerns.

She also supports people facing postpartum depression, grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration stress, and work or money challenges. Her practice centers on listening first and then collaborating on clear, achievable steps. Sessions aim to balance practical skills with empathy so clients can try new strategies between meetings.

She explains options plainly and adjusts the plan as needs change. People who choose Kristine can expect consistent, down-to-earth guidance and a focus on real-world coping skills. She helps clients move from feeling stuck toward more manageable daily routines and clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kristine blends client-centered work with evidence-based techniques to meet practical needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The first sessions typically focus on understanding priorities and picking a few practical steps to try.

Online sessions make these approaches more accessible through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when video is not possible; live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy family schedules and life changes while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
