Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristin uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful working relationship where the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood before moving on to practical steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with day-to-day coping. For trauma and distressing memories, Kristin uses EMDR to process difficult experiences while helping clients stay grounded in the present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they review what works and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the client's life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, send quick updates, or do shorter check-ins that fit around work or childcare.
