About Kristie
Kristie Cooley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, and depression. Kristie also helps with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues around divorce and separation.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most difficult now and on small, usable steps to reduce distress. She talks through reactions to stress and social situations, and practices ways to improve communication and manage impulses. The tone in sessions is direct and respectful, with clear strategies people can try between visits.
Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep problems going. She helps people notice relationship patterns, work through guilt or shame, and address behaviors tied to drug or alcohol use. For those coping with chronic pain or illness she includes strategies to manage mood and daily functioning.
People leave sessions with concrete tools for handling anger, easing social anxiety, and improving difficult conversations. Kristie supports clients who want help sorting through feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, or blended family challenges. She explains goals clearly and checks in about progress each step of the way.
Her practice operates in Florida and services are provided in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps people who feel stuck in anxious or depressive patterns by offering concrete ways to respond differently.Another approach she applies looks at relationship patterns and attachment concerns. It helps people notice how past relationships influence current reactions and supports building clearer communication and boundaries. This can be useful for those dealing with abandonment fears, blended family tensions, or repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions include regular check-ins to see what is helping and what should change so the plan fits the person.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on skills practice rather than longer in-person routines. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain momentum between sessions.
