About Krista
Krista Holeman welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or addictive behaviors. She offers straightforward support for issues like grief, low self-esteem, anger, and struggles with intimacy or eating. Krista holds a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner credential and brings nine years as a practicing therapist to her work.
Krista uses practical talking and skill-building in sessions. She listens first, then helps people pick approaches that fit their goals.
How Krista works
That might mean learning new ways to respond to strong emotions, testing small behavior changes, or working on communication and boundaries. Her training includes cognitive behavioral methods that help spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and willingness to act despite discomfort.
Attachment-focused thinking informs how she looks at patterns in close relationships. Krista aims for a warm, respectful atmosphere where clients feel heard. She focuses on clear goals and small steps that lead to change.
People leaving therapy should have practical tools they can use between sessions. Krista is based in Nebraska and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with adults facing life transitions, mood concerns, parenting pressures, substance issues, ADHD, and related challenges.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. To begin, she asks people to identify priorities and try approaches that match their needs. Sessions tend to emphasize skills practice, problem solving, and steady progress toward the goals clients set.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits related to eating or substance use. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect emotions and behavior, which can help with intimacy, communication, and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krista will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches may be combined or adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full session with face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get ongoing support in brief exchanges. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into daily life.
