About Kristine

Kristine Mayer is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, sleep problems, relationship strain, ADHD, or the daily wear of caregiving. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she encourages people to take the first step toward support.

She has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and has taught as an adjunct professor. That background informs a practical approach to problems that often feel overwhelming. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small changes, and steady coping skills people can use between meetings.

Kristine blends client-centered work with mindfulness and narrative techniques. She uses hypnotherapy and guided imagery when appropriate to help with relaxation and sleep. Her style is flexible and calming, aimed at helping people rebuild routines and rest more easily.

She brings experience supporting people through aging and geriatric transitions, caregiver and hospice stress, chronic illness and pain, first responder and medical worker strain, and issues tied to trauma and loss. She also works with LGBT concerns and family of origin matters as they affect an individual’s day-to-day life.

Kristine emphasizes small, humane steps and encourages people to keep living fully even when things are hard. She offers phone and live chat (typed) sessions and welcomes people who prefer those formats as a way to fit care into busy schedules.

Approaches that support better sleep and daily coping

Kristine often uses client-centered work to build a trusting, person-focused space where goals come from the individual and sessions follow their priorities. This approach helps when sleep or stress feels rooted in daily routines and relationships.

She pairs that with mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple breathing and attention skills to reduce nighttime worry and calm the body. Mindfulness practices can make it easier to fall asleep and to manage racing thoughts.

Hypnotherapy and guided imagery are also part of her toolbox when relaxation and sleep are primary goals. These techniques use focused attention and imagery to promote deeper rest and reduce arousal that keeps people awake.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about what they want to change, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.

Kristine offers phone and live chat (typed) sessions, which can make scheduling easier and reduce the need to travel. Please confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs. Online work can help people fit therapy into a busy life and practice new coping skills between contacts.
