How Kristen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, helps set goals, and adapts sessions to the client's needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms when practiced between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristen works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may combine approaches and evolve over time as needs change, with shared decision-making guiding the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick tools, and continued practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
