About Kristine
Dr. Kristine Quallich is a licensed psychologist in California and Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues that affect life at home and at work, including parenting strain, family conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. Dr. Quallich also addresses grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, and career concerns.
Before moving into private practice she spent many years in education as a Certified School Psychologist. That work involved supporting students and their parents with learning, behavior, and social-emotional challenges. She has also provided therapy in community settings focused on anger management and employment-related problems.
Her practice emphasizes cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered care. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and make choices that match their values. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify practical steps that reduce stress at home.
In sessions she helps people talk through parenting pressures, adoptive and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and blended family issues. She also supports adults navigating relationship problems, control issues, and substance use challenges related to family stress.
Dr. Quallich combines clinical work with teaching at Kent State University. Outside of work she practices meditation and regular exercise and brings that practical interest in well-being into conversations about everyday coping and routines.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Quallich commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. ACT helps people clarify personal values and make small behavior changes that align with those values, which can help when parenting feels overwhelming. CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that increase stress or low mood and then testing small, practical changes to reduce their impact.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness practices to slow things down and increase awareness of daily routines and reactions. These approaches can help with anxiety, sleep problems, eating concerns, and the emotion work that comes with family and caregiving roles. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - she works with each person to see what fits their goals and preferences.

They also allow short check-ins when schedules are tight or alternatives when travel would be difficult. Licensed professionals will discuss how to shape sessions so they work with everyday life and specific concerns.
