Krista Holeman, LIMHP

Krista Holeman is a LIMHP - a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - who brings extensive experience in the mental health field. She has worked in the field for 15 years and has spent nine of those years practicing as a licensed therapist and drug and alcohol counselor. She earned a Master in Counseling from Doane University in Nebraska in 2015 and has focused her clinical work on older adults, adolescents, adults, families, couples, and people facing substance use concerns.

Her approach to treatment is flexible and individualized, drawing on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered therapy, Existential therapy, Reality therapy, Narrative therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. She prioritizes building a strong therapeutic rapport so clients can face challenges and work toward meaningful goals. Krista emphasizes selecting the methods that best match each person's needs and preferences rather than applying a single model to every situation.

Outside of her clinical work, she is a wife and a mother of three young children, and she values the many roles people hold in life. That personal perspective informs her interest in helping others find balance among roles and uncover purpose and meaning during life transitions and difficult times.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Krista uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for people struggling with strong emotional reactions or relationship challenges. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening, collaboration, and supporting clients to explore their values and goals at their own pace, creating a respectful environment for personal insight and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Krista works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and provide flexibility in how people access care. Whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and broadens access for people who prefer remote support, while preserving the opportunity to build a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
