About Kristine

Kristine Mayer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, depression, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her practice also addresses caregiver and hospice concerns, chronic illness and pain, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and questions about life purpose.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has taught as an adjunct professor locally. That background informs a practical approach to common problems like burnout, caregiver strain, and bereavement. Her experience includes work with first responders, medical workers, military and veterans, and people impacted by major loss or disaster.

In sessions she relies on client-centered and narrative-based methods to help people talk through what matters to them. She also uses mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy techniques when those fit a person’s goals. Conversations are paced to the person’s needs, with a focus on what helps day-to-day functioning.

Kristine notes special attention to aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer-related concerns, and co-morbid health conditions. She also offers support for isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and coping with dissociation after trauma.

She does not offer video sessions. Phone and live chat (typed) are available, and international clients may be accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions

Kristine commonly draws on client-centered therapy, which centers conversations on the client's priorities and personal experience. This approach helps clarify what matters and supports decision making during life transitions.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. That work can be useful for grief, trauma, caregiving strain, and questions about life purpose.

Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep. Hypnotherapy techniques may also be used when they fit a client's goals and comfort level.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as the work progresses.

She does not offer video sessions. Phone and live chat (typed) are listed as ways she meets with people; confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find phone or typed chat easier to fit into a workday, helpful when a shorter check-in is needed, or preferable when they do not wish to be on camera.
