About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a master's degree in counseling and additional academic training in human services and organizational psychology. Kristi works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career transitions, and related life challenges.
Her background includes counseling in correctional settings, mental health and substance use programs, and work with leaders and public figures. She also speaks publicly on mental health topics. This variety has shaped a practical approach to everyday problems, from workplace pressure to complicated relationships.
In sessions she emphasizes clear, actionable steps. Kristi often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify goals and find workable next steps.
Kristi addresses identity concerns tied to online versus real-life roles, struggles with pornography and sexual shame, and caregiver stress. She helps people examine core beliefs and where those ideas come from, then practice different responses that feel more effective.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. Expect conversations that name patterns, test practical changes, and measure progress over time. To begin, clients follow the platform's matching and scheduling process to set a first appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches and working online
Kristi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in counseling. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, and problematic habits. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and helping people clarify their own goals and values so they can choose different responses.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That means talking about what feels realistic, trying a few techniques, and adjusting as progress is observed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. For people handling anger at work or who need help fitting sessions around caregiving and jobs, remote appointments are often more practical. Kristi will discuss how sessions can fit into daily life and what scheduling approach is most useful.
