Kristine Gustafson , LPC

Kristine Gustafson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a board-approved supervisor practicing in Missouri with 14 years of clinical experience. She blends evidence-based methods with a compassionate, person-focused stance to develop treatment plans that reflect each individual's values and goals. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Kristine offers specialized support for compassion fatigue and chronic disease management, and she frequently helps caregivers, people navigating long-term health conditions, and those facing major changes regain a sense of direction and coping capacity. She also works with clients on relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, attention challenges, self-esteem, and a range of behavioral and emotional difficulties.

In sessions she cultivates a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore emotions and patterns without pressure. Together with each client she identifies barriers to progress and builds practical coping strategies and response skills. Her aim is to empower people to move toward meaningful, sustainable change and to live in ways that reflect their priorities and strengths.
