01About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She holds a master's degree in counseling and also has a doctorate in business administration with a focus on industrial/organizational psychology. Kristi has worked in a wide range of settings, including correctional facilities, mental health and substance use agencies, and public speaking engagements.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people identify strengths they still have and use those strengths to rebuild parts of their life that feel broken.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on real problems and clear next steps rather than long abstract talk. Kristi commonly addresses anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also gives focused support for career and leadership struggles, coping with life changes, parenting and fatherhood issues, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thought patterns that drive feelings and behavior. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to build momentum and set achievable goals. Client-centered work guides the pace, keeping the person’s needs central in each session.
Kristi has experience supporting people from many backgrounds, including correctional settings and high-responsibility roles. She is based in Idaho and conducts sessions in English. International clients are accepted for remote work.

04Online support
Approaches that fit online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing a person's experience without judgment and following their pace; it helps people feel understood and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi will talk through goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods to try. That collaborative choice aims to match techniques to the person's real-life needs and make progress feel achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls let people use visual cues and more complete conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter updates, goal tracking, and moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel, or busy family days while still working toward clear goals.
