About Kris
Kris Rice is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, practicing in Kansas with 23 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and anger. Kris also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, parenting stresses, and other life changes.
Her approach centers on building a steady working relationship and practical conversation. She focuses on clear, realistic steps you can try between sessions. That can mean looking at how thoughts and behavior interact, naming attachment patterns that influence relationships, or using brief mindfulness practices to calm a tense moment.
Kris draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses elements from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work when that fits the problem and the client's goals. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational rather than academic.
She has long experience with trauma and post-traumatic stress and with problems that often show up around relationships - communication problems, codependency, abandonment worries, and divorce or blended family stress. Kris also helps with issues many adults face as they age or shift careers.
People can expect a respectful conversation that looks at patterns, reactions, and small practical changes. To start, the usual first steps are an initial meeting to outline concerns and agree on short-term goals. From there she and the client monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring ways of relating and to practice different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's agenda and strengths. In an online setting this often means shaping sessions around immediate concerns and practical goals the client sets. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT tools tend to transfer well to remote sessions because they include clear exercises and short behavioral experiments clients can do between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative testing can happen session by session until a comfortable fit is found.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow a quick check-in during a lunch break, or choose a simpler phone meeting when video isn't practical. These practical benefits often help people maintain regular work on anger, stress, and relationship goals without reshuffling their whole schedule.
