How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so people can set their own goals and feel understood. That approach is useful when someone needs support sorting feelings, making decisions, or regaining confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, depressive thinking, and sleep or eating problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of trauma with gradual, stabilizing techniques and coping skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Kristin works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity during life transitions.
