If you are having a difficult time adjusting to a life change you weren't expecting; maybe an injury that has resulted in chronic pain and needing to modify the way you used to do things, a relationship change, adjusting to parenthood, or dealing with the effects of a pandemic, and would just like to feel "balanced," find joy in life again, sleep peacefully, and use healthy coping skills to maintain normal daily function, then consider allowing me to work with you to figure out how to work through and overcome some of your challenges and support a transition to a more positive mindset.

Have you ever felt like you were spinning out of control with fear, worry, and despair? Does it seem like you’re lost in sadness, hopelessness, and exhaustion? Are you overwhelmed with irritability, pain, and fear?

It's tiring, scary, and overwhelming to figure it out alone. In our counseling sessions, we can walk down a path together to help you find relief, hope, and a sense of calm in your life. I invite you to join me on your path for change.

I work exclusively with adults who live in FL and are looking for individual psychotherapy via telehealth. My clients tend to be professionals, entrepreneurs and young adults who are interested in finding work-life (or school-life) balance, having more meaningful interactions and fulfilling relationships with others, and adjusting to ongoing changes and/or life events (e.g., unexpected losses, cohabitation, marriage, death of a loved one, becoming a parent, among others). I also work with clients experiencing distress in one or more of their interpersonal relationships who want a safe space to explore feelings & think about options.

Hi there. My name is Kristie. Thanks for stopping your scroll for a second. You clearly have a whole lot of therapists and counselors to choose from here on Psychology Today. Picking someone you are going to bare your soul to based on 640 characters can be seriously overwhelming. I am definitely not a marketing guru and I don't have any punchy catchphrases. What I can tell you is I have been where you are and I know what it is like to struggle, feel alone or overwhelmed. And I know it is very possible to get to the other side of those feelings.

I believe that all of us have the power to make choices that will improve our lives immediately. I encourage clients to focus on what that have control of, rather than what they do not. I encourage and practice a cooperative approach to marriage, parenting and life. I work with individuals, couples, families, and kids of all ages and circumstances. I have extensive experience in helping with school related issues and advocating for families regarding these concerns. I also enjoy working with athletes and helping them improve their "mental game.

What is keeping you from a more satisfying and joyful life? Is it the overwhelming stress and anxiety that won’t seem to stop? Perhaps, it’s a deep sense of sadness, like something is just not right? Or maybe you are having difficulties with the relationships that matter the most to you? You have tried everything you can think of to feel better but sometimes it seems like your mind is working against you. You know it can be better than this you just don’t know how to get there or even where to start!

I believe that contact with a psychologist can be impactful in as little as one visit, and a variety of different strategies can be utilized once someone has begun developing insight. Often people are ready to make changes but can't get an appointment soon enough, or they aren't sure if they want to go to therapy but the process is intimidating and overwhelming. I created this teletherapy process to bridge that gap, to assist patients with discovering their needs while also giving the option to treat them with therapy virtually.

I have been happily married for 48 years and personally know the importance of effective communication and compromise in relationships. I value your time.

I work with people to help them reach their full potential. I can do this with telehealth or in person. My job is to help remove those barriers keeping you from becoming who you really are. That might simply be a change in your life you are having trouble making. Or that may be a mental health or physical issue you have. Because I'm both a psychotherapist AND Chiropractic Physician, I can address the physical components of things that are keeping you from being who you want to be too. Often the physical problems have psychological components and the psychological problems have physical components.

My specialty is working with couples in intimate relationships who feel their relationship is in distress. I can help when you're not talking, not communicating, not connecting anymore. I can help if you and your partner are constantly fighting, or if you're living like roommates. I can help if there has been an affair, that has been ended, and you want to find a way to rebuild trust and reconnect. I have a passion for this work and have the specific training and experience required to help you and your partner find connection and understanding again.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
