Online support options
How chosen approaches translate to online care
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT helps people spot and change automatic negative thoughts, learn new coping skills, and practice behavior changes between sessions. That makes it useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood symptoms in virtual appointments. ACT focuses on naming personal values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed actions that match what matters most, which can help with stress, motivation, and long-term goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Kristin treats it as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust over time based on what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively rather than assumed up front.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and work well for skill practice and deeper exploration. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier to fit into a busy schedule. These options give flexibility to match therapy to daily life and to the kinds of exercises used in CBT and ACT.
