About Kristine
Kristine Mills is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps so clients can make real changes. Kristine works from New Mexico and meets people where they are in life.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths, setting workable goals, and practicing skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Kristine offers tools for emotional regulation, coping with cravings, and improving sleep and eating patterns. Her approach combines several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas help understand relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. Kristine also draws on dialectical behavior skills to manage intense emotions and increase distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concepts support conversations about intimacy, grief, and connection.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and commit to small actions that matter. Across sessions she aims to be supportive and empowering. The work tends to be collaborative and practical, with homework between visits when it helps.
People leave with concrete steps to try and clearer ideas about next moves.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that lead to distress and to practice new behaviors that bring relief. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing stress.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult emotions are present. ACT can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and motivation when life feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristine will help clients choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, coping skills practice between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
