About Kristie
Kristie Fleurimond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 14 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Kristie centers sessions on respect and sensitivity. She listens first, then helps shape a plan that matches each person’s needs. Conversations are practical and steady, not rushed or full of jargon.
Background and approach
Her work often includes therapies that help people notice thoughts and take meaningful action. She uses mindfulness and cognitive strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect present life.
Kristie also addresses relationship and family tensions, body image and eating concerns, addiction struggles, and questions tied to sexual orientation and identity. She helps people manage anger, impulsivity, and issues like abandonment or codependency. Sessions can cover career stress, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, and forgiveness.
She supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, and other mood-related challenges. The tone in sessions is collaborative and down-to-earth. To begin, Kristie asks about what matters most and what goals feel realistic.
She adapts methods over time so the approach fits each person’s pace and life demands.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kristie will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most doable. Over a few sessions she adjusts methods so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when they want more connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick updates, exercises between sessions, or when not being on camera feels better. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family, or other demands.
