About Kristine
Dr. Kristine Quallich is a licensed psychologist practicing in Ohio with almost three decades of experience. She holds psychologist credentials in California and Ohio and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions.
She aims to help people who are feeling anxious, stressed, or stuck find clearer ways forward. Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work. She uses straightforward tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help people tolerate difficult feelings while making choices that match their values. Dr. Quallich has a long background in education and community mental health.
She previously worked in schools as a Certified School Psychologist and supported students and families with learning, behavior, and social-emotional concerns. She has also offered therapy in community settings focused on anger, employment issues, and family challenges. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
She listens first, helps set clear goals, and uses brief, focused techniques to build skills. Coaching-style suggestions and solution-focused conversations are often part of the work. Outside of clinical work she teaches at Kent State University and keeps a regular meditation and exercise practice.
That personal experience informs how she blends skills practice with discussions about meaning and daily routines.
Approaches for anxiety that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as worry or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting, collaborative relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what is helping and shifting strategies when something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and reach licensed professionals from different locations.
