About Kristi

Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a master's degree in Counseling and a doctorate in Business Administration with a focus in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Kristi has worked across many settings and with a wide range of people, including correctional populations, mental health and substance use agencies, leaders in public life, and stay-at-home parents facing everyday stressors.

Kristi prefers straightforward, practical work in session. She helps people notice how their thoughts shape feelings and behavior, then practices small changes that add up. She also addresses struggles with identity, relationships, grief, addiction, and the stress of life transitions. She describes therapy as weekly work together to pick up life pieces and build on remaining strengths.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients clarify what matters and make changes. She also uses existential ideas to look at life purpose and meaning when those concerns arise. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods guide shorter-term goals and steps forward.

Kristi works with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and family problems. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, communication and commitment problems, and first responder concerns. She offers services from Idaho and provides sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability. Costs vary with location and the subscription model can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist reflects what matters to you and supports your own pace of change, which helps when people feel stuck or unsure about decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life transitions because it breaks problems into concrete steps.

Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, purpose, and life direction. This approach can help when worries are less about symptoms and more about identity, life purpose, or how to face big transitions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Check current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills between meetings and apply changes directly to daily routines.
