About Kristin

Dr. Kristin Rice is an LPC based in Connecticut who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and a wide range of related issues.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she centers clients' own knowledge of their lives while helping them identify strengths and practical steps for change. She approaches each person with respect for their story and encourages courage in taking the initial step toward therapy.

Her practice uses evidence-informed methods to address emotion, behavior, and bodily experience. Kristin integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-guided action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and patterns, and attachment-focused work to explore relational themes.

She blends these tools with motivational interviewing and somatic techniques when appropriate, tailoring interventions to fit a person’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing mood, sleep, and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early connection themes to improve current relationships and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to select and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and progress, adjusting techniques as needed so the plan fits the person's life and values.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows people to access care from different locations. These options can support continuity of care, make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, and provide multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most workable for them.
