About Kristi
Kristi Skeem is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Idaho. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, and life transitions. Kristi also offers coaching for practical changes and decision points.
She trained at the graduate level in counseling and also holds a doctorate in Business Administration with a focus in industrial/organizational psychology. Over her career she has worked in correctional settings, mental health and substance use agencies, and with people from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds. That background shapes a direct, practical approach to common problems.
In sessions she focuses on identifying the thoughts and habits that keep people stuck. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work concrete and doable.
Kristi helps people address issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment and personality concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, first responder stress, and forgiveness. She also works with people dealing with online identity conflicts and sexual shame, including issues with pornography.
Her style emphasizes step-by-step problem solving and practical tools you can try between sessions. She invites people who want concrete strategies to change thoughts, habits, and daily routines to begin with a short assessment and plan for measurable steps.
CBT and practical approaches for online sessions
Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can test new responses and track what changes. Client-centered therapy provides a respectful listening stance that helps people describe what matters most and set their own goals.She approaches treatment collaboratively. Early sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments to see what works. The therapist and client review results together and adjust plans based on what the person can realistically try between sessions.
