Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kristin often uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions concentrate on the client’s goals and immediate concerns, which adapts well to conversation-based formats.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often includes practical homework and skill practice that can be discussed and reviewed during video or messaging sessions. For trauma-related work she uses trauma-focused techniques and EMDR when appropriate, which can be adapted for online delivery with guided processing and tailored pacing.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting techniques as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, daily coping support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
