About Kristine
Kristine Mayer is an Oklahoma-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, caregiving and hospice issues, and feelings tied to guilt and shame.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to listen to a person's story and help them put words to difficult feelings. She uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when useful to slow racing thoughts and create pauses for reflection.
Kristine has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has taught as an adjunct professor locally. That background includes experience with first responders, medical workers, military and veteran concerns, Holocaust survivors and their families, and geriatric issues. She also has experience with ADHD and autism spectrum concerns in adults.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on making everyday life more manageable. She offers phone and live chat (typed) sessions rather than video. Her style is nonjudgmental and flexible, aimed at helping people speak about what they regret, fear, or carry from the past.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client's words and priorities, and the therapist responds with curiosity and clarification to help the person make sense of their feelings. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult stories by naming themes and looking for alternative meanings; it is often useful for guilt, shame, and longstanding family patterns.Mindfulness methods teach simple attention exercises and breathing or grounding practices to reduce reactivity. Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and focused attention to access memory and create new ways of responding to distress. Both approaches can support work on trauma, grief, anxiety, and sleep problems when the client is comfortable trying them.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Kristine will help figure out what fits based on the client's goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That can mean trying brief solution-focused steps, practicing a mindfulness exercise, or using narrative questions to rethink a painful event.
Practical benefits of working online with her include fitting sessions into a busy week and choosing a communication style that feels easier to use. She does not use video; sessions are available by phone and live chat (typed). Confirm the session options before booking so they match your needs.
