Kris Rice is a licensed social worker who uses a collaborative, person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. With 23 years of experience she aims to create an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity where clients can begin change.

She adapts conversation and treatment to fit each person's situation. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, coping tools for strong emotions, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or trauma. Kris also supports people navigating career shifts, parenting strains, and intimacy-related worries.

Her work draws on methods that help people understand patterns in close relationships and manage unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Mindfulness practices are used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. The goal is practical skills that can be used between sessions.

Kris has particular experience addressing family problems, blended family dynamics, abandonment issues, codependency, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. She also lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and can help with life transitions related to aging.

Clients can expect conversations that are straightforward and tuned to their goals. Kris emphasizes empowerment and actionable steps, while honoring each person’s pace. She encourages anyone ready to explore change to take the first step and reach out.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationship patterns shape current connections and reactions. It can be useful for addressing intimacy issues, codependency, and problems that repeat in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms and to build coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That planning can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling work between appointments without rearranging a full day. It can also let people use different tools in sessions, such as guided mindfulness practices or real-time skill coaching, which complement the attachment and CBT-based work.
