Kris Rice , LSCSW

Kris Rice is a licensed social worker in Kansas with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma while supporting self-esteem and motivation.

She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored to the client's situation and goals rather than following a fixed script. Kris aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can start to make changes.

Kris draws on several practical approaches, including attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered techniques. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and centers sessions on each person's experience.

People often come for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, or help recovering from abuse or loss. She also supports those facing career transitions, anger, codependency, blended family dynamics, and other life adjustments. Women's issues are listed among her focus areas.

Over two decades of practice give her familiarity with a range of problems and coping strategies. She meets people where they are and works with them to set realistic steps forward. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and patterns. Online sessions help people talk through recurring relationship responses and practice new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, useful for reading expressions and doing interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while adapting to daily life.
