Kristine Mayer, LPC

Kristine Mayer is an Oklahoma licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, loss, and life changes, and helps those coping with compassion fatigue, depression, self-esteem concerns, and sleep problems. She also helps people navigating LGBT issues, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and chronic health challenges.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create an open space where clients can speak freely. Kristine emphasizes kindness and respect while people talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Kristine draws on several practical methods to match the needs of each person. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client. Mindfulness and guided imagery practices are used to calm the body and ground attention. Narrative and solution-focused techniques help people reframe their stories and find small, doable steps forward.

She has a long history of work with medical settings, hospice and caregiver stress, first responders, and aging-related concerns. That background informs how she supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, or end-of-life issues, and those coping with caregiver burnout.

Kristine notes that taking the first step takes courage. She encourages people to reach out when they are ready, and to expect a compassionate, flexible space where each person’s life and values are respected.

Approaches that inform online sessions

Kristine uses client-centered work to follow the client's priorities and build sessions around what feels most important. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space that respects their pace and choices.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach grounding and breathing practices that reduce tension and improve sleep. Mindfulness skills can be practiced between sessions to manage stress and chronic pain symptoms.

Existential ideas help people clarify meaning, values, and life purpose during major transitions or illness. These conversations can support coping with loss, aging, and end-of-life concerns by focusing on what matters now.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match goals and comfort level, and she will adjust techniques as needs change.

Kristine does not offer video sessions; she provides phone and live chat (typed) sessions instead. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, and avoid travel when medical appointments or caregiving duties compete for time.
