Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Kristina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new thinking patterns. These techniques are often used when anxiety or stress feels overwhelming and when people want concrete steps to change how they respond to situations.She also draws on dialectical behavioral skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical tools for calming intense feelings and handling conflict or pressure when it arises.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kristina will work with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The work is collaborative and focused on what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions and fit support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice skills in real time.
