Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often offering practical skills for managing depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, helping couples improve attachment, trust, and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Chrystal works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access therapists from different locations. This adaptability supports ongoing work on relationships, intimacy, trauma recovery, and day-to-day coping, while allowing clients to participate from settings that feel most comfortable for them.
