Kristine Mayer, LPC

Kristine Mayer, LPC, brings 35 years of clinical work to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, caregiving strain, and life changes. She supports those dealing with trauma, depression, sleep problems, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and LGBTQ issues. Her tone is down-to-earth and steady. She encourages small first steps and acknowledges how hard it can feel to start. Kristine practices in Oklahoma and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has experience with geriatric and hospice concerns, first responder and medical worker issues, military and veteran-related matters, and caregiver burnout. She also has a background in working with survivors of extreme trauma and people navigating serious illness. In sessions she aims to create a nonjudgmental, flexible, and comforting space. She uses client-centered and narrative approaches that let a person tell their story and find meaning. She also uses mindfulness and guided imagery techniques to reduce stress and to support emotional regulation. Kristine notes she cannot offer video appointments. She is available for phone sessions and live chat typed sessions, which some people find easier to fit into a busy day. Her approach is collaborative - she listens, responds, and helps people set small, practical goals. She values kindness and respect and encourages people to claim their right to be heard.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's pace; it helps when someone needs acceptance and gradual steps toward change. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values so it can help people facing life transitions, loss, or questions about purpose. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness techniques to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress, and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to needs, goals, and preferences and discusses which methods might fit best. Decisions about what to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made. Kristine does not offer video sessions. She provides phone and live chat (typed) sessions, so check and confirm current session options before booking. Many people find phone or chat easier to schedule around caregiving or work, to have a shorter check-in, or to avoid being on camera. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during stressful times and to bring what matters from day-to-day life into therapy conversations.
