Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Kristel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in different ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships, helping clients understand how early bonds affect current communication and intimacy, which can be helpful for relationship struggles and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often reducing symptoms of anxiety and improving coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Kristel partners with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques collaboratively and revisits the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into busy schedules and different life situations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent support, skill-building, and check-ins that are accessible from home or on the go.
