Kristine Mayer

Kristine Mayer, LPC, helps people facing grief, end-of-life concerns, stress, anxiety, and the long-term strain of caregiving. She supports those coping with loss, chronic illness, trauma, identity questions, and major life changes. Her manner is warm, nonjudgmental, and flexible, and she encourages people to take small steps toward feeling steadier.

With 35 years of experience, Kristine brings a background that includes inpatient and outpatient work and time as an adjunct professor. She has focused work with hospice and end-of-life concerns, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver burnout, first responder and medical worker stress, and trauma-related challenges. She also offers support around LGBT concerns, ADHD and autism spectrum issues, and cancer-related adjustment.

Her approach centers on listening closely and helping people find practical ways forward. She uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s pace, narrative therapy to make sense of life stories, and mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools to ease intense emotions. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build coping that can fit into daily life.

Kristine works by phone and by live chat (typed). She emphasizes kindness and respect, and she encourages people to speak openly about what matters to them. She hopes each person leaves a session feeling heard and with a small, doable next step.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. The practice accepts international clients and provides services in English.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-centered work means the session follows the person’s pace and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people set small, practical goals to try between meetings. This approach is useful for coping with grief, caregiver stress, and everyday anxiety.

Existential ideas help when life changes bring big questions about meaning, loss, or purpose. Conversations focus on what matters to the person now and how to find manageable steps forward. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and calm strong emotions, which can be helpful during grief or medical crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different methods, and adjust based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the individual.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting care into busy days. Kristine offers phone sessions and live chat (typed), so people who prefer not to use video can still meet. Confirm session options when you book to make sure the format fits your routine and technology.
