Kristi Skeem, LPC

Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of counseling experience. She draws on a background in human services, counseling, and organizational psychology to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or off course. Kristi offers steady, practical support for people facing midlife transitions, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and career shifts.

Kristi prefers clear, goal-focused work. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change thoughts that keep them stuck. She also uses client-centered listening to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and create manageable steps forward.

Her experience includes work in correctional settings, mental health and substance-use agencies, and with people in high-responsibility roles. That range informs a down-to-earth style that respects different life situations. She helps people pick up the pieces after painful choices and rebuild a more stable routine.

Kristi addresses issues such as relationship and family stress, parenting and fatherhood concerns, attachment or codependency patterns, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care. She also supports those dealing with addiction-related shame and people wrestling with online identity and real-life meaning.

Her practice blends practical tools, reflective conversation, and coaching-oriented steps. She invites clients to set goals and test new ways of thinking and acting. To begin, people can use the platform tools to match and schedule a first session.

Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Kristi commonly uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so goals emerge from what matters to them. It helps people who need acceptance and a clearer sense of their own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk about your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Together you decide which methods and steps feel useful and make adjustments as needed during the work.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting people meet without being on camera when that's preferred. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person meetings and to support practical changes that matter day to day.
