About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is an LPC with 15 years of counseling experience. She brings a mix of practical problem-solving and thoughtful conversation to sessions. People often come to her for help with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.
She trained in counseling and holds a master's degree in Counseling, plus a doctorate in Business Administration with an industrial/organizational psychology focus. Kristi has worked in a wide range of settings, including corrections, mental health and substance use programs, and with people in high-profile roles. That variety informs a direct, straightforward style.
Kristi favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered and Existential ideas to focus on personal meaning and values. Sessions mix practical skills, reflection, and goal-focused work aimed at everyday challenges.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She talks through what is getting in the way now, then helps build manageable steps forward. She also supports people dealing with grief, career decisions, parenting stresses, adoption and foster care topics, and issues such as codependency and communication problems.
Kristi emphasizes using a person’s strengths while working through setbacks. She often helps people untangle identity questions tied to online life and real-world roles. The overall aim is clearer thinking, steadier behavior, and a plan for moving ahead.
