About Kristine
Dr. Kristine Quallich is a licensed psychologist in Ohio and California with 28 years of clinical experience. She combines practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, relationship struggles, parenting and family issues, grief, and workplace stress.
She began her career as a Certified School Psychologist and spent many years in education supporting students and their families with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. That background informs how she talks through problems and sets clear, achievable goals with adults who still carry old patterns from childhood or school years.
In community therapy settings she has helped adults address anger management, employment challenges that affect wellbeing, and communication problems at home. Her approach favors practical strategies that people can use between sessions. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building small routines that reduce reactivity.
She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered principles, along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That blend supports managing symptoms while also attending to personal values and what matters day to day. She also has experience with trauma-informed work and family-related concerns.
Teaching at Kent State University keeps her connected to current research and to how younger adults think about work and relationships. Outside of work she practices meditation and regular exercise, and she talks with clients about simple habits that support emotional balance.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It can be useful for managing anger, role stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce reactivity and improve mood. It often suits problems like anxiety, depression, and anger that come up day to day. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce automatic responses and increase attention to what’s happening right now.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try out methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in practical terms.
