Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kristen frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers support and understanding. This approach helps people who need validation, improved self-awareness, and stronger self-worth.
She also applies cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, panic symptoms, and patterns that undermine self-esteem by teaching concrete strategies for change.
Finally, Kristen integrates solution-focused therapy to help clients identify realistic goals and build on existing strengths. This approach is often brief and action-oriented, making it a good fit for clients seeking targeted progress on specific issues.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Kristen works collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Kristen is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and attend sessions from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the work.
