Krista Holeman, LIMHP

Krista Holeman is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and works to build a strong working relationship so people feel comfortable talking about what matters most to them.

Krista draws on a mix of practical approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps, plus attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and choices.

With nine years as a licensed therapist and additional experience in substance use counseling, Krista has helped people facing life changes, parenting stress, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, and ADHD-related concerns. She aims to match the approach to what each person needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Krista trained at Doane University in Nebraska, earning a master’s degree in counseling in 2015. She keeps sessions focused and practical, helping clients set small goals and practice new skills between meetings.

People describe her approach as respectful and down-to-earth. She balances direct strategies with a listening style that centers each person's goals and values. This makes it easier to take small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Krista uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts that contribute to anxiety and depression, then practice different behaviors and coping skills to reduce distress. Cognitive behavioral techniques are useful for worry, mood problems, and many everyday challenges.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them, even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with motivation, avoidance, and building a meaningful routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Krista works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress is made. This means trying practical exercises together and adjusting plans if something is not helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when a camera isn't convenient, and chat or text-based options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue regular work on goals between sessions.
