Dr. Kraines is a clinical psychologist and an Assistant Professor, Research Scholar Track, at the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, and a Research Psychologist in the Behavioral Medicine and Addictions Research Program at Butler Hospital. She received her bachelors degree from Colby College and her masters and doctoral degrees from Oklahoma State University. She completed her clinical psychology predoctoral internship and postdoctoral research fellowship at Brown. Her current research focuses on affective-cognitive factors that serve as mechanisms and predictors of change in mood disorders and health behaviors (e.g., depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, recovery from alcohol use disorder). Additionally, her research aims to adapt evidence-based mindfulness interventions for at-risk populations (e.g., caregivers of cancer patients, oncology health professionals). Her research utilizes mixed-method assessments including self-report measures, clinical interviews, novel computer based tasks, and eye tracking technology. Clinically, Dr. Kraines treats individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Dr. Kraines supervises clinical psychology residents completing the Alcohol and Drug Partial Hospital Program Rotation at Butler Hospital.
Currently, Dr. Kraines serves as the Principal Investigator of an Early Career Development Award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (K23AT011388). This five-year project involves testing whether affective executive functioning serves as a mechanism of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.

My research focuses on affective-cognitive factors that serve as mechanisms and predictors of change in mood disorders and health behaviors. Additionally, I aim to adapt evidence-based mindfulness interventions for at-risk populations. I also study cognitive biases for mood, anxiety, and suicide utilizing novel computer-based tasks and eye tracking methodology.
