About Kristi
Kristi Heritage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and anger.
Kristi uses a direct and interactive style in sessions. She focuses on practical conversation and specific strategies rather than labels. Sessions often include goal-focused discussion, skill building, and attention to patterns that keep problems going.
Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Kristi adapts these methods to the person in front of her and to the problem at hand.
She has experience helping people after trauma, during crisis, and while working on substance use concerns. Kristi also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness, career stress, caregiver strain, and relationship conflict. Anger is listed among the concerns she addresses.
Her practice balances practical skills and focused conversation. She encourages booking a live session for undivided attention, and notes she responds to messages between sessions when possible. To begin, readers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
Kristi offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Kristi uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people name their concerns and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a trauma-informed approach that works with disturbing memories and the bodys responses to them through guided processing. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will help weigh options and choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to keep therapy practical for daily life while focusing on skills, processing, and problem solving.Areas of expertise
