About Kristine
Kristine Mills is a licensed professional clinical counselor who centers care on people's strengths and stories. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what each person needs. Her approach is practical and encouraging for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance concerns, grief, or shifting life roles.
Kristine draws on several evidence-informed methods to match the work to the person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take workable steps toward them.
Background and approach
She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas inform how she explores relationship patterns and their impact on mood and connection. Clients can expect clear, direct conversation about steps to try between sessions.
Kristine emphasizes skills people can use right away for sleep, mood, and coping with cravings or strong emotions. She pays attention to how family of origin, blended family dynamics, and communication patterns affect current struggles. Her background includes eight years of professional experience and licensure as an LPCC in New Mexico.
That experience includes supporting people with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career or parenting stress. Kristine aims to be a steady, practical partner while people make changes. She frames goals collaboratively, tracks progress, and adjusts strategies when something isn’t helping.
Her style is calm, solution-oriented, and respectful of each person’s pace.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kristine often blends Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches when it fits the person’s needs. Gottman Method concepts focus on improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships by teaching practical interaction skills and habits that build connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early closeness and bonding shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses, which can help explain fears of abandonment or patterns of dependency.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means sessions can mix skill training, values-based exercises, and discussions about relational history depending on the issue at hand.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
