How Kristi works
Her clinical work includes using client-centered methods to follow each person's goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on existential ideas when questions of meaning and purpose come up, and on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies for short-term, goal-oriented work.
Kristi has worked in a wide range of settings, including correctional facilities and substance use programs, and with people from many walks of life. That background informs a direct but compassionate style that emphasizes strengths and small, doable steps. She helps people build on what still works for them while making changes that matter.

How Kristi’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. Sessions aim to create understanding and let clients set the pace and direction for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation. It is often used when a person feels unsure about taking steps or needs support committing to goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life situations. Video calls let people work face to face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions are helpful when a camera is not practical, and live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins or busy days. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
