About Kristie
Kristie Cooley is a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship struggles, and depression. She listens carefully and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more in control.
She works with people facing attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, and difficulty with communication. She also supports those coping with blended family challenges, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and body image concerns.
Background and approach
Substance misuse, impulsivity, and the aftermath of divorce or domestic violence are addressed with straightforward planning and emotional support. Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, practicing communication skills, and building routines that reduce stress.
She helps people notice patterns and try small changes to see what works. Her practice values collaboration. Kristie encourages clients to bring their priorities and to set the pace for change.
She draws on four years of clinical experience as an LMHC to guide decision making without assuming one approach fits everyone. Kristie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
She provides services in English and works from Florida.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and strong emotions through step-by-step strategies and practice exercises; this can be helpful for panic, social anxiety, or high stress. Another focuses on understanding attachment and relational patterns so someone can improve communication and feel more supported in relationships; this approach looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and offers tools to respond differently.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods, adjust as needed, and pick the tools that fit the person’s life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, process between sessions, or for people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
