About Kristi
Kristi Heisterman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 11 years of experience. She focuses on addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with issues such as adoption and foster care, sexuality, and young adult concerns.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address addiction and relationship patterns. In sessions she talks through recent events, identifies repeating patterns, and helps people practice new ways of responding. She also supports people dealing with trauma by helping them name what happened and learn coping skills for distressing memories.
Kristi pays attention to family dynamics and the roles people take in relationships. She helps parents and adults concerned about parenting challenges to sort practical solutions and set realistic boundaries. For intimacy-related and sexual concerns, she discusses values, consent, and communication skills in straightforward terms.
Her experience includes working with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions like pornography or gambling, and sex addiction. She also has experience with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture and with adoption and foster care topics. People can expect practical, direct conversations that concentrate on next steps rather than long lectures.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Kristi works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, trauma, and relational concerns. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical coping strategies for cravings, anxiety, and flashbacks. This focuses on step-by-step tools people can use between sessions to manage intense feelings and urges.Another typical approach is pattern-focused work that helps people notice repeating relationship behaviors and try different responses. This helps with intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and family dynamics by making small, testable changes to everyday interactions.
Choosing the right method is part of the process. Kristi will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means discussing options, trying approaches in session, and adjusting as progress is assessed.
