Kristine Fournier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions. Kristine emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm approach to help people make manageable changes.

Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Kristine draws on seven years of clinical experience to shape treatment plans that fit each person. She tailors conversations and exercises to what feels most useful for everyday life.
That can mean setting small goals, practicing new skills, or planning ways to respond differently when stress rises. Her background includes work with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports people facing multicultural or immigration-related challenges and end-of-life issues.
Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies rather than labels. Kristine aims to help people build steadier routines, better communication, and stronger coping during hard times. She encourages clients to move at their own pace while working toward practical change.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts a person's needs and goals first. In this approach the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to set goals and priorities. It helps people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skill modules such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance can be practiced in daily life and reviewed during sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies and pacing so the work fits the person's life and changes over time.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people work face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins and written reminders of skills. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while maintaining steady progress.
