Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Kristin Allen incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed action toward meaningful goals while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by emphasizing what matters most and building psychological flexibility.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skill-based strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. CBT focuses on problem-solving and developing tools that clients can apply in everyday situations.

Kristin’s work is grounded in client-centered principles that prioritize a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. She collaborates with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of treatment and tailor sessions to the client’s lifestyle and communication preferences.
