Kristine Fournier, LPC

Kristine Fournier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who uses clear, practical strategies to help people cope with life stressors. She focuses on calming anxiety, managing anger, and navigating grief. She also helps with relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Her approach begins with listening. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs so sessions feel relevant and useful.

Kristine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to build a trusting space where people can explore their feelings at their own pace. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when people need skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Across seven years of work, Kristine has supported people facing family problems, blended family issues, communication and commitment concerns, and multicultural or immigration-related stress. She also provides guidance for life transitions, career questions, and money-related anxiety.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Kristine helps set goals, practice new skills between meetings, and adjust plans as progress is made. The focus is on small, manageable steps toward relief and clearer direction.

Using practical therapy approaches online

Kristine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people online. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people can explore what matters most to them.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for people who need tools to manage strong emotions and improve communication. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for more in-depth work and nonverbal cues, phone sessions are straightforward when bandwidth is limited, shorter live chat check-ins can help maintain momentum between meetings, and text-based messaging supports frequent, flexible check-ins. These formats aim to increase access and make it simpler to use therapy tools in daily life.
