About Kristine
Kristine Mills is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

Background and approach
Sessions mix talking, skills practice, and real-world planning so progress feels concrete. Kristine draws from several well-known methods to match your needs. That can include strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, techniques to tolerate strong emotions, and ways to repair important relationships.
She will explain options and help you try what fits best for you. She also brings experience supporting people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, body-image struggles, parenting stress, career questions, and burnout. Kristine pays attention to how past relationships or attachment patterns shape present problems.
She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on what you want to change. Kristine practices in New Mexico and holds the LPCC credential, which appears after her name. If you want a clear plan and steady coaching toward calmer days, she offers a collaborative style that emphasizes practical steps and ongoing feedback.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes meaningful behavior over eliminating difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns because it gives hands-on strategies to test and shift beliefs.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through options, explain how each method works, and adapt techniques to match your goals and comfort level. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is good for full sessions and visual cues, phone calls require less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, while live chat or messaging works for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options increase flexibility and let you keep consistent momentum toward your goals.
