About Kris
Kris Rice is an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in Kansas with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career shifts, and coping with life changes.
Her approach centers on clear conversation and practical steps. Sessions focus on how patterns show up in daily life and on small changes that feel doable. She listens for attachment patterns, communication habits, and unhelpful thinking that keep the same problems repeating.
Kris uses client-centered work to let the person's priorities guide the process. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings in attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to address how relationships shape feelings and reactions.
In sessions she helps people name what they are trying to protect and where that strategy no longer works. That can include people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, recurring conflict, or living around someone else's moods or drinking. She also offers coaching-style support for practical steps like boundary-setting or managing big life transitions.
Kris practices in Kansas and conducts sessions in English. To get started she asks people to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin by outlining goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. In practice this means naming patterns in how people bond, withdraw, or react in close relationships and using that awareness to try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's priorities and pace. The therapist follows what the client wants to address and builds sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and experiments to test ideas and change unhelpful habits.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. They adjust techniques over time so the work fits the person's needs and preferences rather than sticking to one method.
Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists work with clients to schedule sessions at times that fit work, caregiving, or other routines and to choose approaches that match those practical constraints.
