About Cristan
Cristan Steimel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Cristan aims for straightforward sessions that focus on small, usable steps. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill building, goal-setting, and gentle exploration of feelings. Her background includes five years of counseling experience and work supporting people with ADHD, chronic medical issues, and developmental or intellectual disabilities. That experience informs a practical approach to symptom management and everyday routines.
Cristan offers help with parenting challenges, caregiver stress, grief, compassion fatigue, and career-related concerns. She also supports people facing divorce, blended family tensions, and the long-term effects of trauma. In session she uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to clarify goals and keep work action-oriented.
Expect collaboration on specific strategies you can try between meetings. The emphasis is on skills that fit current life demands. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a therapist and then sessions are scheduled.
Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk, process feelings, and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day routines so people can try different ways of coping.
Mindfulness Therapy helps develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction. It can be useful for managing strong emotions, improving focus, and reducing reactivity in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be helpful when a camera is not preferred or when someone has limited internet. Live chat and text sessions make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching easier between longer meetings. These options let people fit counseling into work, caregiving schedules, or medical routines while using practical therapeutic tools.
