About Kristine

Kristine Fournier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who uses a collaborative, client-centered approach. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life changes. Kristine aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through their concerns and find clearer ways forward.

She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Kristine also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and goals rather than following a fixed program.

Her seven years of experience include helping people with relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, career stress, and struggles with addiction or mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She also supports people dealing with trauma, postpartum challenges, and life transitions like hospice and end-of-life caregiving.

Kristine pays attention to cultural and immigration concerns and addresses practical issues such as money and financial stress when they affect daily life. She works with people facing control, commitment, and communication difficulties, and helps those managing compassion fatigue or ADHD symptoms.

Her style is direct but warm. She will collaborate on a plan, check in about what’s working, and adjust as needed. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kristine uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in session, focusing on their priorities and pacing. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy offers hands-on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness that clients can try in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kristine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practice of skills between meetings and let people meet with a licensed professional from a location that suits their schedule.
