About Kris
Kris Rice is a Kansas-licensed social worker with 23 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use right away.
Kris listens first and then builds a plan tailored to each person's goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. She helps people understand where codependency or control issues show up and how to make different choices.
Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Kris also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or the stresses of parenting and blended families. She uses tools that help with coping, decision-making, and emotional regulation.
Approach matters as much as technique. Kris draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness methods and emotionally focused ideas are woven in to help with present-moment coping and deeper relational change.
Conversations with Kris aim to be collaborative and practical. She helps people set small, doable goals and build skills that fit daily life. If you want straightforward guidance and steady support, Kris will work with you to plan next steps and track progress.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Many clients find attachment-based ideas helpful for seeing how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how people form bonds and what they need to feel safer in relationships, which can help with codependency and repeated conflict. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting space so clients can explore their goals and values at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kris discusses your needs and preferences and will adjust methods as the work unfolds. Together you decide whether to emphasize skills, deeper relationship patterns, or a mix of both based on what you want to change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as fitting in brief check-ins between work tasks or avoiding travel time. Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. The main benefit is flexibility: sessions can focus on skill-building, examining relationship histories, or managing symptoms in ways that translate into everyday routines.
