Kristine Mills

Kristine Mills is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She approaches clients with respect for their own story and strengths. Kristine offers steady support as people take steps toward change and clearer goals.

She uses straightforward tools from evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong emotions and cope with life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills for everyday problems as well as space to process painful experiences like trauma and loss. Kristine frames the work as a collaboration where clients set the pace and priorities.

With eight years of professional experience, Kristine applies techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She draws on those methods to help with emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and unhelpful thinking that keeps people stuck.

Her style is supportive and goal-oriented. Kristine helps people learn new habits, practice coping strategies, and notice patterns from earlier relationships that affect present life. She aims to make sessions useful and grounded in daily life.

People who want clear, compassionate guidance around anger, mood concerns, substance use, or identity-related stress may find this approach helpful. Kristine works from New Mexico and offers sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kristine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice their values and take meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT supports work on motivation and living in line with what matters to the person.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills for anxiety, anger, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristine will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they can try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care during life changes, while still getting the same practical skill-building and emotional work they would expect in person.
