About Kristine
Kristine Edstrom is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She emphasizes a warm, accepting way of working so people can say what they really feel. Her manner is calm and steady and she focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
With nine years of experience, Kristine combines Client-Centered Therapy with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She aims to make sessions feel like a partnership where goals are set together and progress is checked in small, manageable ways. She uses straightforward exercises to help with mood shifts, coping skills, and motivation.
Kristine also uses strategies drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and trauma-focused work when they suit a person’s needs. These methods can help people regulate strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and process difficult memories at a pace that feels right for them. She explains techniques simply and practices them in session so people can try them between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English and provided within Minnesota. She asks people to pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Her approach is practical and respectful. She focuses on small, steady changes that add up over time, helping people build skills for coping with life changes, relationships, attention challenges, and substance-related concerns.
Approaches to online care and what they offer
Kristine uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and guides goal-setting based on their own priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers simple tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building new habits for mood and anxiety management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT teaches concrete coping skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills from home or during a break, and can be helpful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed for a session.
