About Kristie

Kristie Cooley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with four years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship problems. She also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family strain, and caregiver stress.

Kristie uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve everyday interactions. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term skills, and learning ways to respond differently when anger or frustration arise. She emphasizes practical steps people can take between meetings to test new habits and notice what changes.

In sessions she talks through communication patterns and helps people practice alternatives to reactive responses. She also addresses underlying issues that fuel anger, such as shame, guilt, impulsivity, or grief. When substance use or addiction is present, care includes attention to how those behaviors link with emotion and relationships.

Kristie aims to help clients build steadier routines and clearer boundaries so daily life feels more manageable. She works with people on coping strategies for chronic pain, illness, and the stress of caregiving. Her focus includes improving body image, working through divorce or separation, and navigating family conflict.

Kristie conducts therapy in English and does not work with international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling through the service's matching process.

Approaches used in online sessions

Kristie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at emotion regulation and communication. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete ways to notice triggers, slow down a reaction, and choose a different response. This is useful for coping with anger, impulsivity, and day-to-day stress.

Another approach focuses on identifying patterns in relationships and attachment. That work helps people see how past hurts shape current reactions, and it offers practical exercises to try new interaction habits. These techniques are often paired with problem-solving around caregiving demands, chronic illness, or substance use concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. If an approach doesn’t fit, adjustments are made and alternative techniques are introduced together.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, let someone join from different locations, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help plan how sessions will fit into daily routines and goals.
