Kristine Mills, LPCC

Kristine Mills is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with eight years of professional experience, licensed in New Mexico. She works with adults who want help with anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and career stress.

Kristine starts from the belief that each person knows their story best. She listens for strengths and practical steps people can use right away. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that reduce snap reactions, simmering resentment, and workplace frustration.

Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful feelings and move toward what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas inform work around abandonment and relationship wounds.

Kristine also draws on dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles guide conversations about closeness and communication. Together these tools aim to build better responses to anger and to improve interpersonal functioning.

Practical work in sessions includes skill practice, real-world homework, and reviewing what helps between meetings. Her style is direct and practical rather than vague. People leave with clear steps to try and a plan for the next session.
