Kristi is a very good therapist. She listens, helps me reflect, and work through my thoughts. She is good at giving me ideas and advice. I enjoy creating “homework” with her after my sessions to help take steps towards making positive changes. She always checks in on me and it feels good to build a strong and trusting relationship with her. I highly recommend BetterHelp, but especially Kristi as a therapists. I always look forward to my time with her.

Kristi has been excellent at helping me through a lot of my issues involving anxiety and depression. She gives many techniques to improve anxiety, such as grounding techniques. I use these when I am about to have a panic attack, and they help. She is a great listener, and I feel safe discussing my feelings with her.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Super friendly, always has great tips to help me.
Kristi is a very good therapist. She has helped me a lot in decision making by talking it thru.
I've only has a few conversations with Kristi, as I'm new to "BetterHelp", as well as therapy. But I am very pleased with her!
Kristi is wonderful! She hears me, and not just my words. She reads my face as we talk too. She is kind and compassionate. Plus she's super flexable with my crazy work schedule. I was worried I'd get matched with someone who didn't get me, but I ended up with a great one who totally does!
I am so grateful for Kristi. She helped me help myself through a very difficult time in my career and having her support helped me meet my goals and helped me see the bigger picture, something that’s difficult for me when my anxiety is high.
