Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kristin

Kristin blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to support clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and helps people explore their values and goals - this approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical skills to change them - CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related issues. Kristin also incorporates mindfulness practices, which teach present-focused awareness and calming strategies that can help with emotional regulation, stress, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors treatment plans so techniques fit each person’s life and priorities. Clients participate in choosing which methods to emphasize and adjust over time.

Online therapy with Kristin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations within permitted areas, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can effectively deliver these approaches in remote sessions, helping clients build practical skills and progress toward their goals.
