About Kris
Kris Horton is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with trauma, anger, and depression. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people ready to make change.
Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and builds on them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Kris uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide work on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. That can mean learning new ways to respond to worry, practicing skills to manage strong feelings, or changing patterns that keep problems going. She also helps people address family conflict and communication problems.
Work can include improving how someone talks about difficult topics, repairing trust, and managing anger in healthier ways. Clients commonly bring concerns such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, guilt, and shame. Kris aims to make progress in everyday life - better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer choices, and more satisfying relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes structured exercises and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Typical work includes learning distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal communication to reduce reactive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. Together they’ll adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone calls work well with lower bandwidth or when a quieter setting is needed, and chat or messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain regular contact between appointments.
