More about Kristie
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience and am currently licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, ADHD. relationship issues, parenting struggles, and trauma. I was excited to join the BetterHelp team because I believe therapy should be accessible and available to more people, without limitations and labels dictated by insurance companies.
I would describe my therapy style as genuine and eclectic. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion, and while I cannot be anyone other than me, I will tailor my approach to meet the needs of the individual. I also believe that as a therapist it is my job to challenge my clients and not simply tell them what they want to hear. I believe that if we are not being challenged, we're not growing! My approach combines cognitive-behavioral (CBT), humanistic, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused, as well as mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
Life is hard and I believe it is essential to have a sense of humor and find joy in the little things. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with animals on my hobby farm, gardening, listening to music, skydiving, hiking, camping, fishing, being a mom, traveling, and learning new things.
It takes courage to seek help and I look forward to helping you on your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself you can be!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s been very helpful
I just started seeing Dr. Schaefer. Dr. Schaefer is kind and easy to talk to. I appreciate that she asks a lot of questions to really understand your situation. She reaches out when times become available in her schedule and this is so wonderful as there have been times that I really needed to talk when she has reached out.
Kristie has always taken the time to listen, respond, and give advice in a personable manner. She has provided me with confidence, security, and has helped me enjoy my life again. Before starting therapy with Kristie I had lost myself and working with her has been a life changing experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be in therapy with her and would recommend her to anyone who is considering therapy.
Dr. Schaefer listens for my true needs and offers an empathic, nonjudgmental presence that allows me to gain different perspectives regarding the challenges in my life. I Strongly recommend seeking support through BetterHelp, Dr. Schaefer and her colleagues!
