About Kris
Kris Rice is a KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Kris focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She uses listening and shared problem-solving to help people sort priorities and feel less overwhelmed. Sessions aim to name patterns, test small changes, and build skills that fit everyday life.
Her approach pulls from attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to look at how relationships affect feelings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to challenge thoughts that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness practices are included to strengthen awareness and coping during stressful moments.
Kris attends to common parenting stresses and blended family dynamics when those issues come up. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and mood or trauma-related symptoms. Her work includes practical coaching around motivation and decision points.
People can expect direct conversation, goal setting, and follow-up between sessions when useful. Kris describes the process as collaborative; she helps decide which tools to try and checks whether they are working. She asks clients to take small, manageable steps rather than make wholesale changes all at once.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what they look like
Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships affect feelings and reactions. In online sessions this can mean talking through patterns with partners or family stories and noticing how early relationships show up now. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and then practice different ways to respond to them. It is often used for relationship-related distress and to improve emotional connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and practical homework to try between meetings.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and check in regularly about progress so changes can be adjusted as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats take less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on a quick break from work or when a quieter setup is possible.
