01About Kristi
Kristi Heisterman is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing addiction, trauma, intimacy concerns, and parenting strains. She practices in Texas and draws on eleven years of clinical experience to guide people through hard transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Her work often centers on addiction recovery and related concerns such as drug and alcohol use, process addictions, and sex or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with past trauma, questions about sexuality, and stress tied to adoption or foster care.
Background and approach
Young adult issues are another common focus. Kristi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of coping.
The goal is to build resilience and clearer decision making rather than quick fixes. Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, so people leave with concrete next steps.
Over time the work shifts from crisis management to longer-term growth. Kristi holds LPC and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credentials and offers care to people in Texas. She integrates attention to relationship dynamics, trauma processing, and addiction-related behavior into an individualized plan.
People who want direct, practical support for complex problems often find this approach helpful.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Kristi draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, trauma, and relational concerns. One approach focuses on behavior change by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing alternative responses; this helps with addictive behaviors and impulse challenges. Another approach centers on processing past traumatic experiences in manageable steps so painful memories have less power over daily life; this can reduce distress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video is useful for in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care across changes in routine.
