Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to help people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped in the past, then try methods that fit. She adapts techniques based on progress and feedback so treatment remains collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using familiar therapeutic tools.
