About Kristie

Kristie Cooley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, and depression. Kristie focuses on practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

She helps people who struggle with impulsivity, shame, and difficulties in attachment. Common themes she addresses include abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with substance use concerns, divorce or separation, and recovery from domestic violence.

In sessions Kristie takes a straightforward, skills-focused approach. Conversations center on identifying patterns that lead to snapping or bottling up feelings. She teaches concrete techniques to manage intense emotions and to rebuild trust in relationships. Expect clear steps and practice between sessions.

Her work also covers looking at body image, guilt and forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness. For many clients this means learning to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and try new ways of responding. Kristie emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Kristie offers services in English and works from Florida as an LMHC. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Confirm current session options before booking if you need a particular format.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses teaches practical emotion-regulation skills to help people notice triggers, reduce impulsive reactions, and practice calmer responses. This is useful for anger, anxiety, and stress that shows up in daily life.

Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship skills. Sessions include role practice, feedback, and homework to try new ways of speaking and setting boundaries in real situations. That method helps with workplace friction, partner conflict, and managing resentment.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and choose techniques that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process helps match methods to what the client wants to change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when face-to-face practice is helpful. Licensed professionals adapt exercises so skills can be practiced between meetings and applied to everyday stressors.
