Evidence-based techniques and online care
Kristin uses evidence-based techniques that give clear, teachable skills. One approach she uses is solution-focused counseling, which centers on identifying small, achievable goals and building on what already works to create change. This method helps when stress or low motivation make it hard to take the first steps.She also incorporates HeartMath coherence building, a set of simple heart-focused breathing and awareness exercises. These techniques teach short practices to help regulate emotions and reduce acute stress reactions. Mindfulness practices are included as well to increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. She adjusts pace and tools over time so strategies stay useful and realistic.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual coaching of exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or practice prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills where they matter most.
