About Kristine

Dr. Kristine Quallich uses mindfulness as a core part of therapy. She blends mindful awareness with practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. Her approach is grounded and direct, aimed at helping people notice what matters and take small, doable steps forward.

Dr. Quallich is a licensed psychologist in Ohio and California and has 28 years of experience. She began her career working in education, helping students and families with academic and behavioral concerns. That background shapes how she works with adults who face relationship strain, work stress, mood struggles, and parenting pressures.

In sessions she combines cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered listening. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and uses the conversation to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and solution-focused strategies when those fit a person’s goals.

Her past roles include community-based therapy focusing on anger, employment-related challenges, and family issues. She also teaches at Kent State University, which keeps her connected to current research and classroom practice. She likes meditation and exercise and encourages simple habits that support mental health.

People who come for help can expect calm, practical sessions that aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping. Dr. Quallich works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire.

How Mindfulness and ACT Translate to Online Therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and improving attention. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action, helping people live in line with what matters even when difficult thoughts or emotions appear. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and experience, with the therapist following the client’s pace and concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques to fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people practice mindfulness or behavioral exercises in real time where life happens, and the therapist can help tailor exercises to what works for the client’s routine.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
