About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
The first part of working together is listening and finding what matters most to each person. Dr. Rice draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build workable skills.
She also uses attachment-based ideas and somatic techniques when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes rather than long lectures. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites clients to name goals and tries experiments between sessions.
Many people come away with clearer coping tools for anxiety, sleep problems, parenting stress, or workplace strain. With eight years of counseling experience and an LPC credential, she practices from Connecticut and offers online formats. Sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
People who reach out will complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions. Dr. Rice aims to create a predictable, calm approach that helps people move forward from trauma, depression, ADHD challenges, or intimacy-related concerns.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful goals rather than getting stuck in unwanted thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and for managing symptoms like sleep problems, panic, or mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online formats offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when possible, phone sessions can be easier when video is not an option, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions despite busy days, travel, or varied routines.
