Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kristy commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and meeting each person where they are - it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings, identity, or relationship concerns without judgment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving - it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy works with clients to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adapt the plan based on what feels most helpful, combining elements from her approaches as needed to fit each person's situation and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. For many people, remote sessions provide consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing personalized, goal-focused work.
