Kristine Mayer, LPC

Kristine Mayer is an Oklahoma-licensed counselor with 35 years of experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety. She helps with grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, sleep struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She also offers coaching and support around ADHD and relationship concerns. Kristine is nonjudgmental and aims to create an open, kind space where people can share feelings and worries.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has taught as an adjunct professor locally. That background informs practical, down-to-earth help for common problems like caregiver burnout, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and medical-worker or first-responder stress. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, chronic pain and illness, and issues related to survivors of large-scale trauma.

Kristine combines client-centered listening with narrative and existential approaches to help people understand what matters to them. She sometimes uses guided imagery and hypnotherapy tools in sessions and draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce tension and improve sleep. Her style is flexible, comforting, and focused on the person in front of her.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions by phone and live chat (typed). Because she cannot provide video, people who prefer audio or text interactions will find those options available. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair someone with the scheduling process.

Approaches to stress and anxiety in online sessions

Kristine often uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and helps people lead the work based on their own needs and goals. This approach is useful for stress, depression, and relationship concerns because it centers the person's experience and priorities.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple practices for managing tension, improving sleep, and calming the body and mind. Mindfulness skills can be short exercises that fit into a busy day.

Hypnotherapy and guided imagery are additional tools she may use to help with trauma, grief, and behavior change by encouraging focused relaxation and inner-directed work. These techniques are used alongside conversation and practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out what fits best with a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine methods over time as those needs change.

Kristine offers phone and live chat (typed) sessions rather than video. Please confirm the available session options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in during a break, and offer a therapy option without needing to travel.
