Kristie Cooley

Kristie Cooley is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, relationship strain, and depression. She uses clear, practical steps to help people feel steadier and more in control of their emotions. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at someone who needs straightforward support.

Kristie listens for what matters most in a person’s life and works from there. She focuses on building self-compassion and better communication skills. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems alive and teach ways to respond differently to hard feelings.

Clients often explore past hurts like abandonment or attachment wounds to see how those experiences shape current reactions. She also helps people dealing with blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and problems with substance use. Work can include learning to manage impulsivity, guilt, shame, and intense emotions such as anger.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Kristie offers tools to lower reactivity, improve boundaries, and rebuild trust in relationships. She guides people through small, repeatable changes that add up over time.

Kristie has four years of experience as a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She practices in Florida and provides care in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kristie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger, anxiety, and relationship strain. One approach focuses on emotion regulation skills that teach how to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and practice step-by-step strategies to reduce impulsive responses. Another approach emphasizes communication and boundary skills to help people express needs clearly and repair interactions that have become hurtful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristie collaborates with each person to identify which methods suit their goals, life demands, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
