About Kris
Kris Rice is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and major life changes. She focuses on practical, person-centered support that fits each individual's situation. Kris aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.
Kris works with concerns like relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also helps with parenting concerns, career transitions, and the challenges that come with aging and blended families. Anger and communication problems are common topics she addresses in sessions. Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness.
That means conversations balance understanding how past relationships shape current feelings with attention to patterns of thought and behavior that can be changed. Sessions are guided by the person’s goals and paced according to their needs. In the room, Kris focuses on clear, down-to-earth strategies people can try between meetings.
She uses gentle questioning, practical exercises, and breathing or grounding practices when helpful. Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made. Kris is based in Kansas and works in English.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empowerment, aiming to help people build skills for calmer reactions, clearer communication, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions let people talk through how trust and connection affect their responses, including anger and intimacy concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person's agenda. In remote sessions this can help people feel heard and arrive at their own solutions without pressure. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is practical and skill-focused, so it fits well into video or phone sessions where homework and concrete exercises can be assigned and reviewed.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. They’ll check in regularly and adjust techniques to what works best for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework follow-ups, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
