About Kristen
Kristen Meintzer, LPC, helps people managing anxiety and stress find steadier footing. She offers a calm, respectful presence and practical guidance for day-to-day challenges. Kristen writes plain goals and helps clients work toward them at a manageable pace.
She draws on 13 years of experience in outpatient treatment, college counseling, and residential substance use care. That background shaped her ability to support people facing depression, relationship strain, career decisions, ADHD concerns, and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Kristen also addresses communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are interactive and focused on what matters to the individual. She uses client-centered methods so the conversation stays grounded in each person’s priorities.
Kristen also incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are other tools she brings into sessions when helpful. Mindfulness supports noticing thought and body reactions, while motivational interviewing helps clarify motivation and next steps.
Together these approaches aim to make change more practical and sustainable. People who meet with Kristen can expect clear communication, empathy, and step-by-step skill building. She works to reduce stigma and to treat each person with sensitivity and respect.
If someone wants a straightforward, skills-focused approach to anxiety and related concerns, Kristen offers that kind of practical support.
Approaches that fit into online care
Kristen commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. Client-centered methods focus on the person's goals and feelings so sessions stay practical and relevant. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete techniques to reduce worry and change behaviors.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions or relationship stress make life harder. DBT-based skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These approaches are presented in simple steps and practiced during sessions so people can try them between meetings.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods to fit. That may mean focusing on skills work, exploring motivation, or combining strategies over time.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions work well for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone calls can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, skill coaching, or quick follow-ups between sessions.
