How Kristine works
Mindfulness skills and trauma-focused methods are also part of the work when appropriate. These approaches help people manage overwhelming emotions and unpack difficult experiences at a pace they control. Kristine keeps explanations plain and concrete so techniques are easy to try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristine uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where people lead the conversation and identify what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady listener and a partner in shaping goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete exercises to change patterns of thinking and behavior; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest methods that fit their goals. She adjusts pacing and tools so people can try techniques and give feedback about what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues for richer conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when a video connection is difficult. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or a written way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and different daily rhythms.
