About Kristine
Kristine Edstrom, LPCC, is licensed in Minnesota and has 6 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She uses client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral strategies in her work.
Kristine focuses on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. She helps people name the problems that feel most urgent and tries to make therapy straightforward. Sessions emphasize spoken reflection, goal-setting, and skills practice when useful.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's own perspective and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that contribute to distress. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness techniques are used when skills training and emotion regulation are needed.
Kristine has worked across a range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. These include addictions, relationship strains, family stress, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She keeps language simple and focuses on steps people can try between sessions.
People who choose Kristine can expect a direct, conversational style. She aims to reduce stigma around seeking help and to make sessions a place for honest talk and practical planning. To begin, she asks people to complete basic intake steps and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Kristine draws on client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the person’s priorities and values. This approach involves listening, reflecting, and helping people choose what to work on first. It is useful for building clarity about goals and next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.
Dialectical behavior therapy is brought in when emotion regulation and skills training are needed. DBT techniques teach specific coping skills for managing intense feelings and improving decision making.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and then pick methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
