Kris Rice, LSCSW

Kris Rice is a Kansas-licensed clinician with 23 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She holds the credential LSCSW, which denotes a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and reflects advanced training in clinical social work.

Kris approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. She emphasizes collaborative work, helping clients identify goals and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Kris recognizes that seeking change takes courage and that early steps toward growth can feel difficult. Her role is to support and empower clients as they explore patterns, process past wounds, and build new coping skills. Whether addressing relationships, mood concerns, or life transitions, she tailors therapeutic work to the unique concerns and strengths each person brings.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kris Rice draws from established therapeutic approaches to guide online sessions in ways that address core relationship patterns, emotional responses, and thought habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and helps people understand and shift patterns of closeness and distance, which can be useful for intimacy-related struggles, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, supporting self-discovery and personal growth across stress, motivation, and self-esteem challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kris works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Kris is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines.
