Kristine Davis, MEd, LPCC

My name is Kristine Davis, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have a Master's degree in Community Counseling from the University of Akron. I have extensive experience counseling adults, including older adults, experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, anger, relationship and family concerns, trauma and PTSD, chronic health concerns, substance use and process addictions, OCD, and other emotional and behavioral challenges.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and practical. I help you better understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and experiences may be contributing to the difficulties you're facing today. A significant part of my approach involves helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, challenge those patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and responding. I also focus on identifying your existing strengths and finding realistic solutions that can help you move forward.

In addition to working with people with a wide variety of mental health and substance use concerns, I have particular expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and working with tic disorders. I also have experience helping individuals with OCD, hoarding behaviors, chronic pain and medical conditions, crisis and traumatic experiences, and process addictions such as gambling, shopping, internet use, and compulsive sexual behaviors. I enjoy working with older adults navigating aging, grief, loss, and other life changes, as well as adults and families experiencing parenting challenges and difficult family dynamics.

I am also a certified NeurOptimal® trainer and offer NeurOptimal® brain training, a non-invasive neurofeedback-based wellness service designed to support the brain's natural capacity for flexibility and resilience. This service can be used independently or alongside counseling.

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of meaningful change. My goal is to provide a safe and respectful environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to work toward the changes that are important to you.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two sons, hosting cookouts and outdoor movie nights, home decorating, and caring for my ever-growing collection of plants.
