About Kristie

Kristie Cooley is a Florida LMHC with four years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, anger, and depression. Kristie works with young adults facing early-adulthood pressures like career starts, relationship shifts, and identity questions.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps and real conversation. She listens for patterns such as abandonment or attachment concerns and addresses how these affect daily life. Communication difficulties, blended family strains, and caregiver stress are also common topics she helps people untangle.

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients notice unhelpful habits and practice different ways of responding. She works on managing impulses, reducing substance use, and coping with chronic pain or illness-related stress. Body image, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness are discussed in straightforward terms.

Clients can expect a mix of skill-building and reflection. Kristie helps people work on forgiveness, navigate divorce or separation, and improve how they talk about needs and boundaries. The focus is on small, usable changes that fit into everyday life.

Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled through the site. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches and how they work online

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and building coping skills. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people facing worry, perfectionism, or social anxiety. Another approach focuses on behavior change and skill practice to manage urges, reduce substance use, and respond differently in moments of anger or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so it stays useful and realistic.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around school, work, or caregiving commitments and keeping progress steady when schedules are busy. Because the biography did not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice skills between meetings without needing major travel.
