About Krista
Krista Spaeth is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, LGBT concerns, and low self-esteem. Krista also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, and problems with communication and control.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through the immediate problem, identifying patterns that keep it happening, and trying small changes that can shift those patterns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns and relationship dynamics and adapts the work to each person’s situation.
Krista often helps people facing divorce or separation, family-of-origin difficulties, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also offers support around gender dysphoria, forgiveness work, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions. The work can include looking at how dependency or control behaviors affect relationships and everyday functioning.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort. Clients can expect clear conversation about goals and practical steps to move toward them. The subscription billing for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Krista uses evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and mood. One common approach looks at patterns in attachment and how early relationships influence current behavior; this helps when people struggle with abandonment, trust, or repeated relationship problems. Another approach emphasizes practical, problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful habits and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Krista will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their concerns, goals, and preferences. That process usually begins with a clear conversation about what is most urgent, then later adjusts based on what helps.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy household schedule and reducing travel time so therapy can happen between other responsibilities. If you prefer a shorter check-in or a session that does not require video, confirm which formats are offered when you schedule. Because session options were not specified in the original profile, please check current formats before booking.
