About Kristine
Kristine Edwards, LPC, uses a straightforward and collaborative style to help people reconnect with themselves. She focuses on finding what matters to each person and building practical steps toward clearer direction and stronger choices. Many seek her help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career decisions, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and other life changes.
Her sessions center on conversation that is respectful and down to earth. She listens first to understand what feels stuck.
Background and approach
Then she works with each person to set goals and try manageable changes. Those goals can be about mood, boundaries, daily routines, or parenting choices. Kristine brings 19 years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor in Michigan.
She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Her approach aims for small, practical shifts rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. She often helps people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, or transitions at work and home.
She also supports people navigating identity and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, with room to process feelings and plan next steps. People who prefer a steady, collaborative therapist will find her easy to talk with.
She encourages people to try different ideas and to measure what actually helps. Progress is tracked together so adjustments can be made as goals evolve.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their goals so sessions stay focused on what matters most. This approach is helpful for people wanting to feel heard and to clarify their direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, parenting challenges, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed. The therapeutic relationship itself is part of how change happens.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling-style updates, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make consistent work on goals more achievable for different schedules and needs.
