Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Dr. Kristin Tugman uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and goal-setting. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Another focuses on problem-solving and motivation to address addictions, career barriers, and low confidence by breaking goals into manageable steps and tracking progress over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will ask about your concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. This collaboration helps tailor strategies so they fit your life and feel useful rather than theoretical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that can fit busy schedules. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent touchpoints and easier check-ins between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, errands, or other daily demands while working with a licensed professional.
