    About Kris

    Kris Rice is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Kris aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations and plans to fit their needs.

    She uses practical, person-focused approaches that encourage change and build motivation. Sessions often look like a guided conversation where goals are clarified and small steps are planned. Kris pays attention to how relationships and early patterns shape current struggles and helps people find new ways of relating.

    Kris draws on methods that include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment-based work to address mood, self-esteem, and coping skills. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches to strengthen emotion awareness and communication. These methods are chosen to match what each person needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

    Over two decades of practice have included supporting people through grief, career transitions, parenting strain, and difficult separations. Kris works with common issues such as codependency, control problems, and forgiveness challenges, and she supports people navigating aging and blended family dynamics.

    Kris practices in Kansas and holds the LSCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Her style is respectful and compassionate, aiming to empower people to take small practical steps toward change.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify values and build commitment to small steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection needs, and it helps people understand and shift those patterns to feel safer in relationships.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns and then recommend methods that fit your situation. Together you and the therapist will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress and feel more capable.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow conversations from a familiar setting. Many people find that focused motivational conversations and attachment-based reflection translate well to remote sessions when scheduled thoughtfully.
