About Kristine

Kristine Mills is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico who draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depressive symptoms.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building strengths and practical skills to move toward a more fulfilling life. Kristine emphasizes compassionate support while encouraging the willingness to try new strategies and make meaningful changes.

Her work spans relationship and family concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career questions, ADHD, and a range of attachment and abandonment concerns. Kristine integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and attachment-based approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

She offers a collaborative, empowerment-focused therapeutic style that balances skill-building with deeper emotional processing.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Kristine commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. ACT helps clients clarify values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to small, actionable steps that align with what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and patterns in relationships to foster greater connection and emotional resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristine will work with each person to choose and adjust techniques based on their goals, preferences, and what emerges in sessions so that interventions feel practical and meaningful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules. These formats make therapy more accessible for people with busy lives, varied locations across New Mexico, or a preference for shorter or more flexible interactions, while allowing continuity of care and regular progress toward clients' goals.
