Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapy
Kristen draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and empathy - the therapist creates a supportive space to help clients explore their values and goals, which can be helpful for relationship, identity, and grief issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, useful for addictions, career transitions, and other ambivalent goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what feels most effective for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work commitments, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of distance.
