Kristi Heritage is a licensed counselor practicing in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She is currently available only during daytime hours. She has focused much of her work on trauma, crisis intervention, and substance use, and has also supported people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, abuse including domestic and sexual violence, behavior change needs, and attention-deficit concerns.
Her approach to therapy is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She combines person-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to create practical, individualized plans. Kristi is trained in EMDR and has used that method to help many clients process traumatic experiences.
Kristi strives to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs and goals. She aims to be responsive to messages and offers flexibility around scheduling when possible, encouraging clients to book a live session for undivided attention whether by video, phone, or chat. She recognizes that reaching out for change takes courage and she is available to support and empower clients as they take those steps.
Kristi holds a professional counseling license in Missouri (MO LPC 2017044081), reflecting her credentialing as a licensed counselor in the state.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be an effective option. In these areas, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with their therapist in the way that fits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate care into a busy schedule.
All therapists providing these services are licensed professionals, and if someone feels another therapist would be a better match they can change providers. Online formats often make it simpler to find that right fit while still receiving professional support for everyday mental health needs.
