How Kristin works
She holds a Master of Arts in Social Work and uses that background to guide flexible, person-focused care. Sessions aim to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that fits their goals. Her approach blends client-centered listening with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods.
Kristin also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build day-to-day skills. These tools are taught in simple terms and practiced during sessions so people can use them between meetings. Clients can expect to work on practical steps for managing anxiety, improving sleep, coping with life transitions, and addressing patterns that affect relationships and parenting.
Kristin often includes breathing exercises, body-focused awareness, and skills practice as part of the work. She tailors the plan to each person’s needs, combining short-term strategies with deeper exploration when it helps. The aim is steady progress toward clearer boundaries, better coping, and more stable relationships.

Online support options
Approaches for online therapy and practical support
Kristin uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience and helps with building trust and self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy when relationship patterns or attachment issues are central. That approach helps people notice interaction patterns, name underlying emotions, and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Kristin will work together with the client to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences rather than relying on one method alone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for brief support, progress checks, and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when in-person visits are not possible.
