About Kristi

Kristi Heritage is an LPC based in Missouri who brings six years of clinical experience to work with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She has also supported clients dealing with bipolar symptoms, parenting and blended family challenges, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, and difficulties stemming from adoption, abandonment, or major life changes. Kristi’s background includes training in EMDR and a mix of evidence-informed methods that she tailors to each person.

Her manner is warm, interactive, and respectful, prioritizing sensitivity and the avoidance of stigmatizing labels. She combines client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices to create individualized plans.

Kristi invites clients to schedule live sessions by video, phone, or chat and communicates with responsiveness that adapts to daily demands. Prospective clients who are ready to pursue change are encouraged to take the first step; she frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at increased coping, clarity, and empowerment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristi often blends client-centered therapy and EMDR into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy, helping clients explore their own values and goals so they can discover solutions that feel authentic. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing techniques to help people reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related reactions; it is commonly used for trauma and abuse survivors.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, assess what feels most helpful, and adjust methods over time to match each person’s goals, preferences, and progress rather than relying on a single technique from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations and to choose formats that support continuity of care when life gets busy.
