Kris Rice

Kris Rice is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 23 years of experience. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and relationship struggles. She also helps people dealing with trauma, career shifts, parenting strain, and intimacy-related concerns, including issues that often affect women.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring conversation to each person. Sessions are guided by the needs you bring rather than a fixed script. She uses methods that help people understand attachment patterns, notice unhelpful thoughts, and connect more deeply in relationships.

In practice Kris blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused techniques. She helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries practical steps to change those patterns. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage strong emotions and build steadier coping skills.

Clients can expect straightforward language and a calm presence in sessions. The goal is to make progress feel tangible, whether that means reducing anxiety, improving communication, or regaining confidence after loss.

Kris emphasizes collaboration when planning the next steps. She will tailor each plan to your goals and adjust as progress is made. If you want to explore change with steady, experienced support, Kris helps people take those first practical steps.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can use that lens to map patterns in friendships, intimate relationships, and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and trying small behavior changes. In remote sessions a therapist can assign simple, real-world exercises and review results together to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you can try methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and exercises are used as therapy moves forward.

Confirm specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In practical terms, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use audio-only conversation when bandwidth is limited or choose longer video meetings for deeper process. Ask about current session options when you schedule so the format matches your day-to-day needs.
