About Kristine
LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Minnesota with 9 years of experience. Kristine Edstrom helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She offers direct, practical support and works to make sessions clear and focused.
Kristine uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She listens to what a person brings, then works together to set goals and try steps that can be used between sessions. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable pieces and practice skills for handling strong emotions and recurring thoughts.
Her style is straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes the client wants to try. Kristine prefers concrete tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding skills, and emotion regulation techniques drawn from CBT and DBT. Mindfulness practices are introduced as simple exercises to reduce reactivity.
Kristine brings nearly a decade of clinical work in Minnesota settings to her practice. That background includes helping people after traumatic events and supporting those managing mood and attention challenges. She emphasizes clear steps and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust plans as needed.
People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that combine listening with skill-building. Before a first appointment she asks clients to outline their main concerns so sessions start with a focused plan.

How her approaches are used in remote work
Kristine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Client-Centered principles. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT supplies concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions. Client-Centered work keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s goals and experience, so treatment stays relevant to daily life.Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the first few sessions. She will work collaboratively to decide which approaches to emphasize based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning helps shape a clear, practical plan with check-ins to see what’s working.
The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try skills in their typical surroundings and bring real-life situations into session work without promising a specific service.
