Kristie Fleurimond

Kristie Fleurimond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Kristie aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take the first steps toward change.

She typically creates a tailored plan for each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on practical skills you can use between visits. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and substance concerns, which shapes how she approaches safety and pacing in sessions.

Kristie draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to help manage difficult emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build everyday coping skills. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events are a key part of a person’s struggles.

People who come to Kristie often want clear tools and steady support rather than long lists of theory. She aims to balance empathy with concrete steps the person can practice. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative, and the pace is set around each person’s needs.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, Kristie guides the initial steps and helps you set simple goals. She encourages honest conversation about what’s working and what needs to change so sessions remain practical and focused.

How her approaches translate to online care

Kristie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often helps when stress, anger, or avoidance get in the way of living the way someone wants. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and what feels useful in session. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, trauma-focused work, or a blend of methods best fits the situation and pace.

If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone use phone-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual connection helps progress. Kristie will discuss practical session arrangements and match them to each person's needs and daily life.
