About Kristi
Kristi Heritage is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, ADHD, and related issues common in young adulthood.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and learning tools that can be used between meetings. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help people change patterns that cause distress.
Kristi also uses EMDR and mindfulness methods when they fit a person's needs. EMDR is offered as a way to process traumatic memories, while mindfulness work supports managing overwhelming emotions and staying grounded in daily life. DBT skills are used for emotion regulation and improving relationships when those areas are a focus.
She aims to avoid labels and treats people with direct respect. Sessions tend to be interactive and solution-focused, with an emphasis on actionable steps. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and planning for real-world challenges.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Kristi offers services in English and is based in Missouri.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns, helping them shape goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will discuss different options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative process can include trying a few tools and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. When formats are available, they can help people join from wherever they are during daytime hours, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins between live sessions. The focus is on making therapy workable within everyday life while learning CBT, DBT, EMDR, or mindfulness skills that transfer into daily routines.
