Kristine Mayer

Kristine Mayer is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, coaching, ADHD, and life purpose. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver and hospice challenges, chronic illness and pain, and concerns related to autism spectrum and cancer.

Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on what the person is facing now and on workable steps forward. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead and on narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe their stories. Mindfulness techniques and guided imagery are used to reduce stress and improve sleep when appropriate.

Kristine has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and served as an adjunct professor locally. That background informs her familiarity with first responder and medical worker issues, military and veteran concerns, and complex trauma. She has long experience supporting people through end-of-life and hospice situations and their caregivers.

In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and flexible. People can expect practical coping strategies, exploratory conversation about values and life purpose, and occasional use of hypnotherapy techniques where they fit the goals. She offers phone and live chat (typed) sessions rather than video.

To begin, readers are encouraged to review the online therapy options and complete the brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Kristine uses client-centered therapy to listen closely to what matters most to each person and to shape conversations around their priorities. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what direction to take and supports practical problem solving and decision-making.

She also uses existential and narrative ideas to help people clarify values and life purpose. Existential elements focus on meaning, choice, and the tensions that arise after big life changes. Narrative work invites people to reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their struggles, which can make different options feel possible.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristine will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered conversation, narrative reframing, mindfulness exercises, or brief hypnotherapy techniques will best fit their needs and goals. She treats that as an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan.

Practical benefits of working with her online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because she does not use video, phone and live chat (typed) sessions make it easier to have a shorter check-in or a conversation during a break at work, or to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Confirm the available session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
