Kristie Cooley , LMHC

Kristie Cooley is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship struggles, and depression. She works with women’s issues among other concerns and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.

She focuses on short, clear conversations that get to the heart of what’s making life harder. Sessions center on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building healthier habits. She also supports people working through body image problems, abandonment or attachment wounds, and the strain of caregiving.

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. That means she picks approaches that match what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work. She helps people set small, manageable goals and track progress between sessions.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience as a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. That experience has included helping people navigate divorce and separation, blended family issues, and substance use concerns in a practical way.

People can expect a calm, direct style that balances empathy with action. Kristie often focuses on skills people can practice outside of sessions, such as communication strategies, coping plans for anxiety and anger, and steps to reduce impulsive behaviors. She aims to make therapy a useful part of daily life.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. One common approach she uses focuses on building coping skills and emotional regulation - teaching clear steps to calm intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and attachment - helping people name their needs, practice honest dialogue, and repair hurt in relationships. These methods are practical and aimed at everyday improvements.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristie will work collaboratively to learn what matters most to you, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let you meet face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief, ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping progress steady.
