About Kris
Kris Rice is a licensed social worker who uses a compassionate, practical approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is LSCSW licensed in Kansas and brings 23 years of experience to sessions. Kris focuses on clear, respectful conversations that get to the heart of a person’s struggles and goals.
She adapts sessions to each person's needs instead of using the same plan for everyone. That can mean short-term skill building for anxiety, working through grief, or addressing patterns that affect intimacy and connection.
How Kris works
Kris also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strain, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her work blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. Mindfulness techniques and emotionally-focused strategies are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Sessions aim to build awareness, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen relationships with oneself and others. Kris describes her role as supportive and empowering. She centers respect and sensitivity in every conversation and helps clients set manageable steps toward change.
Progress usually comes from clear goals, steady practice, and honest conversations. People who want a straightforward, empathetic therapist often appreciate this style. Her background includes a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, parenting, anger, coping with life changes, and issues like codependency or communication problems.
Kris works with adults seeking more balance and clarity in their lives.

Therapy approaches that translate well to online care
Kris uses attachment-based work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and fear so they can try new ways of relating.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical problem solving. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help with stress regulation and noticing thoughts without getting swept up by them.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Kris listens to a person’s goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. She expects the plan to change as work progresses and will check in regularly to make sure the approach fits the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deep conversations. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
