About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Rice is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.
She also helps with trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and work or career concerns. Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens to each person's story and works with their strengths to set clear goals.
Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings and on noticing small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Dr. Rice uses several evidence-informed methods to tailor care. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and building actions that match those values. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships can shape current reactions. She brings eight years of counseling experience to sessions and holds the LPC credential.
Her background includes work with people navigating family conflict, parenting stress, fertility and relationship challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. People working with Dr. Rice can expect a calm, direct style and practical tools for everyday life.
She encourages pacing progress to each person's comfort and adapting methods when something does not fit. The emphasis is on usable strategies and steady forward movement.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions toward them even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that come from early relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current relationships and parenting choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Rice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools as needed and checks in regularly to see what is or is not helping so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
