About Kristine Kupcha, PhD
I am a licensed counselor in North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, and Washington State. I recently earned my PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior and have worked in the mental health field for more than 15 years.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with older adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other challenges that can make it difficult to feel like yourself. I believe that meaningful therapy begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms and creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood.
My approach blends psychodynamic therapy with practical cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills that can be applied to everyday life. Together, we can explore the deeper patterns that may be influencing how you think, feel, and respond while also developing tools to help you navigate life in the present.
I provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative space to explore what matters most to you. My goal is to work alongside you to create meaningful change and help you build a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentically your own.
flexible appointments
I offer in-person therapy in Surfside Beach and teletherapy to clients throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Vermont, and Washington, providing flexibility to find an approach that works for your needs and lifestyle.
Together, we will develop a personalized plan focused on improving your quality of life and creating the changes you want to make. I believe that emotional well-being is an important part of living a healthy, fulfilling life, and therapy can provide the support, insight, and tools to help you move toward the life you want.
passionate about people
My passion is helping individuals create a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with who they are. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and person-centered, with you at the center of the process.
I take the time to look at the whole person, including patterns of behavior, relationships, lifestyle, physical activity, nutrition, personal values, and individual strengths. By understanding how these different aspects of your life connect, we can develop a personalized approach that supports lasting change and improves your overall quality of life.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide a supportive space, offer perspective and guidance, and work alongside you as you move toward the changes you want to make.
