Combining Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kristin commonly draws on client-centered therapy, which places the individual’s experiences and goals at the center of sessions and helps build self-awareness, trust, and personal strengths. This approach is useful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, and general emotional distress.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches skills to shift them. CBT is effective for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and many everyday challenges.

For clients affected by traumatic experiences, trauma-focused therapy offers targeted strategies to process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning. These interventions are tailored to the pace and needs of each person.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Kristin works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes this collaboration flexible and accessible, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are.
