About
Kristi Skeem is a licensed professional counselor in Idaho with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Services Management, a master’s degree in Counseling, and a doctorate in Business Administration with a specialization in industrial-organizational psychology.
Her practice has served a broad spectrum of people, from affluent and influential individuals to those across the socioeconomic range. Kristi’s background includes many years of counseling inside correctional settings at minimum, medium, and maximum security levels, as well as work in mental health and drug and alcohol treatment agencies. She also presents as a public speaker in a variety of settings and events.
Kristi has walked alongside people who made life choices or committed crimes that shattered their lives and the lives of others, meeting them where they are and supporting weekly efforts to gather the pieces and begin rebuilding. She works with leaders and other prominent figures who face anxiety, stress, and transitions, and she supports stay-at-home parents who experience mixed feelings of success and struggle in their roles.
She offers support for those dealing with interpersonal difficulties, preparing for relationships, or restoring the relationship with themselves. Kristi addresses contemporary identity challenges that arise from the gap between online personas and real-life selves - issues not currently listed as formal diagnoses in the DSM-V. She also works with individuals coping with sexual shame, whether they are survivors or aggressors, including those seeking freedom from pornography or other problematic sexual behaviors.
Kristi uses a cognitive behavioral approach in brief counseling to address life dilemmas. Her CBT-focused work aims to empower clients to understand how core beliefs develop and how those beliefs shape thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and outcomes, helping people take greater control of their lives. She additionally supports business leaders who are navigating leadership challenges or pursuing career growth.
She welcomes people who struggle with fear of facing daily life or concerns about the afterlife, and she engages with existential questions about meaning and purpose. Kristi regards her role as a form of service and brings a strong desire to help and heal. She invites individuals to join her in a collaborative journey to discover purpose and make meaning in life.
