Kristine Edwards is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people reclaim their voice and direction.

Her style is direct and collaborative, inviting clients to be active partners in the work.
With 19 years of experience, Kristine draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, listening-based space. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep stress and anxiety cycling.
Background and approach
Together she and the client set clear, practical goals for change. She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, career decisions, and life transitions. Kristine also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, depression, and parenting challenges.
She offers coaching-style guidance for people facing compassion fatigue or career burnout. In sessions she will help a person name the problems, test small changes, and track what works. Expect straightforward conversations, skill-building, and steps you can use between meetings.
The focus is on what helps you move forward in everyday life. Kristine practices in Michigan and conducts work in English. She frames therapy as a partnership where the person’s goals guide each step of the plan.
How client-centered work and CBT fit online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and meeting each person where they are. Online sessions let the therapist hear what matters most to a person and reflect it back, helping them discover their priorities and next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy offers concrete ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT techniques like thought records, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving can be taught and practiced between meetings to reduce stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. They will adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing thoughts or homework. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
