About Kristin
Dr. Kristin Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, grief, and trauma.
She also supports clients coping with parenting strain, work stress, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, and concerns related to intimacy or sexuality. Dr. Rice uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are.
She draws on Somatic Therapy to help people notice and work with body sensations.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that keep people stuck. Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based ideas appear when clarity about values and relationships is needed. Her practice style is straightforward and collaborative.
She listens for strengths and builds small, practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions often include attention to breath, gentle movement, or grounding as part of working with emotional and physical responses. Dr.
Rice holds a LPC credential and brings eight years of clinical experience. She frames therapy as a partnership and helps each person shape goals that feel meaningful and doable. International clients who speak English may work with her online.
To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic Therapy helps people notice sensations in their body and how those sensations relate to emotions. Online sessions can include guided breath work, grounding, and mindful movement adapted for a video or phone format to help with anxiety, tension, or trauma responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. In teletherapy, this often means learning short exercises and practice tasks that fit into daily life to address depression, stress, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals, comfort level, and pace. Plans can shift over time as needs change, with the client shaping what feels most helpful.
Online work offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when travel or location would otherwise get in the way. Teletherapy can also allow for shorter check-ins and written exercises that support progress between sessions.
