Kristi Heisterman, LPC, LCMHC

Kristi Heisterman is a licensed therapist practicing in Texas and licensed to provide care in Utah as well. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and brings eleven years of clinical experience to work with individuals and families facing complex life challenges.

Her practice emphasizes addiction recovery, family dynamics, trauma healing, and relationship wellness. Kristi creates a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies for change. She has particular expertise supporting young adults, people navigating sexuality and intimacy concerns, and those working through addiction and process-related behaviors.

Kristi draws on evidence-based techniques to help clients build resilience, process difficult memories, and form healthier patterns of connection and self-understanding. She approaches each person as an individual, honoring lived experience and collaborating on a plan that fits the client’s needs and values. Whether someone is addressing substance or behavioral addiction, recovering from trauma, or striving to improve family and relational dynamics, Kristi is committed to walking alongside them with attentive, professional care.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Kristi uses evidence-based approaches tailored to the needs of each client. A family-systems perspective examines patterns of interaction and communication within families to address relationship dynamics, parenting concerns, and relational cycles that can affect individual functioning. Trauma-informed interventions focus on stabilizing symptoms, processing difficult experiences at a manageable pace, and rebuilding a sense of safety and agency for people recovering from abuse or other harmful events. In work with addiction and process-related behaviors, she applies addiction-focused strategies that emphasize relapse prevention, coping skills, and rebuilding routines that support recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristi collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change, adapting methods as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for receiving care from licensed professionals. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or family responsibilities and to maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited. These options support consistent engagement and make it simpler to access help when it is needed.
