About Kris
Kris Rice is a licensed social worker in Kansas with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical, respectful care and works to create a plainspoken plan that fits each person's situation. Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the client.
Sessions are grounded in clear goals and steady support rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all steps. Kris aims to help people find small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and from cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns that keep worries active. Mindfulness techniques are also introduced when they can help with grounding and reducing reactivity. The methods are chosen to match the client's needs and pace.
Kris has worked with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and mood concerns. She also helps with parenting stress, career decisions, anger, and coping with life transitions. Her background includes long-term work in community and clinical settings, which informs a practical, experience-based approach.
Conversations with Kris are meant to be collaborative. She helps clients set realistic steps, re-evaluate progress, and adjust the plan as needed. The goal is to build skills that carry into daily life and improve how people handle anxiety and other challenges.
Using attachment, CBT, and mindfulness in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships influence emotions and behavior. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger anxiety or withdrawal and supports building more supported ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood in place.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. These exercises can help with stress, grief, and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are made jointly and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
