About Kristine
Dr. Kristine Quallich is a psychologist licensed in California and Ohio with 28 years of experience. She has a background in school psychology and community mental health. Her work addresses anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, trauma and many life changes.
She spent much of her career in education as a Certified School Psychologist, helping students and families with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional concerns. She has also provided community-based therapy for adults focused on anger management, employment-related issues, and family matters. Her practice draws on many approaches, with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral methods and client-centered care.
In sessions she uses practical, structured techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior. She combines that with listening and reflection so people can set clear goals and test small changes. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas also appear in her work when they fit a person's needs.
She has experience with a wide range of concerns that commonly affect young adults, including stress, career questions, relationship problems, and struggles with identity or life transitions. She also has experience with grief, eating and sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, and addiction-related issues.
Dr. Quallich teaches at Kent State University and draws on both school and community settings in her practice. She offers a straightforward, skills-oriented approach that emphasizes practical steps and collaboration about next moves.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify what matters and set practical steps for everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions that can mean structured exercises, homework between meetings, and quick behavioral experiments that fit a young adult's schedule.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so a person can find their own solutions. Online appointments can provide that conversational space while building a plan the client feels comfortable with.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That conversation is part of the work rather than a fixed choice up front.
