I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and I am experienced in treating a variety of difficulties, including: anxiety, depression, recent family adjustments, parenting skills, and I have a wide variety of experience working with couples. I am passionate about delivering individualized and holistic treatment to each of my clients using treatment modalities most appropriate for the client's needs.
I provide a supportive, welcoming, and empathetic counseling style that enables people to feel very relaxed. Often times people feel very nervous when starting counseling and my goal is to put clients at ease and gently guide them through the process. It is important to build rapport and give clients a safe space to be heard and obtain tools to reach their goals.
I believe that investing in yourself and committing to the process of participating in counseling is a gift that you give yourself. It is so helpful to have an objective third party listen to you without any judgement and help you navigate through the things that are standing in your way of being happy and healthy.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristine Karig. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She really listens to everything I have to say, and makes me feel like I am heard! She gently bounces ideas off to me and is wonderful to talk to.
