About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 15 years of counseling experience. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and a doctorate in business administration with a focus in industrial/organizational psychology. Kristi works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and career transitions.
She has worked in many settings, including correctional facilities, mental health and substance-use agencies, and with clients in high-profile roles. That variety shapes a practical, no-frills way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on tools a person can use between meetings.
Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for brief, goal-focused work. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas when people want to examine meaning, values, or big life questions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to help people find momentum and try concrete changes.
She helps people sort out relationship problems, communication patterns, and control or commitment issues. Kristi also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, codependency, and caregiver stress. She mentions work with people dealing with pornography, sexual shame, and online identity struggles.
Her approach emphasizes identifying core beliefs and practical steps that change thoughts and behavior. Sessions aim to uncover strengths a person still has and to apply those strengths to daily life. To begin, Kristi asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kristi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with recurring anger, anxiety, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing aims to build a person’s own reasons and drive to change, which is useful when someone is stuck or ambivalent about altering habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to a single path from the start.
