Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Krystle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-driven action to move forward - it can be useful for issues like depression, anxiety, and substance use. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and trust, helping people who struggle with relationship difficulties, loneliness, or trauma to build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can relieve symptoms of mood disorders, anger problems, and stress.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process; Krystle works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment aligns with the client’s values and real-life priorities.
Online therapy with Krystle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home, during work breaks, or from locations across Michigan, while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most manageable for their life and needs.
