Kristine Edwards , LPC

Kristine Edwards works with people who feel they have lost their voice or become defined by the roles they play for others - whether as a spouse, partner, friend, coworker, parent, or leader. She helps individuals and couples explore what drives them, uncover personal passions, and rediscover direction in life.

As an LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor, she serves as a partner and facilitator of change, guiding each person through a process of self-discovery and practical problem solving. Her approach frames therapy as a collaborative effort where goals are identified together and progress is shaped by the client’s needs and values.

Kristine positions herself as an advocate and change agent who helps people name the things that challenge, discourage, or frighten them, then works with them to find ways to move past those barriers. Whether the work focuses on reclaiming individual identity, restoring connection in a relationship, or creating a new direction, she emphasizes a human-to-human partnership that centers the client’s voice and choices. Together they identify goals and take steps to reach them, one meaningful change at a time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective leads the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what is heard, and helps the person clarify values, strengths, and goals - an approach well suited to issues of identity, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented method that explores links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test them against real-life evidence, and develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process adapts over time as goals evolve and progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while keeping the focus on effective, practical care.
