Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Kristin Good draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping people identify their priorities and build self-compassion while the therapist follows the client’s lead. CBT focuses on practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is an approach often used for trauma-related symptoms that works with memories and the way they are processed to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Good works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then recommends strategies that fit the individual’s situation. This shared decision-making helps ensure the therapeutic plan feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access support around work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in daily life with guidance from a therapist.
