About Kristine
Kristine Edstrom is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and the fallout from trauma. She supports clients facing depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD challenges, and life changes. Kristine speaks English and practices from Minnesota as an LPCC with nine years of experience.
Her approach is down-to-earth and person-focused. She aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be said without judgment.
Background and approach
She emphasizes practical strategies alongside listening and validation. In sessions Kristine blends conversation with clear tools. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking.
She draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high. Mindfulness methods are offered for people who want simple daily practices to reduce reactivity. Trauma-focused techniques are used with care to help someone process painful memories at a comfortable pace.
The overall pace and focus are set together, based on each person’s needs. Kristine invites clients to take small steps toward change. She helps make plans that fit real life, such as short practice exercises between sessions or concrete coping strategies for stressful moments.
Her style is calm, practical, and focused on what works day to day.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Kristine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to change mood and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and stabilizing reactions during heated moments.She also uses client-centered techniques to make sessions collaborative and responsive. That means the therapist and client decide together what to try, and they adjust the plan as needs or goals change. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be shaped by the client’s concerns and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share progress or questions between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between sessions.
