Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristine draws on client-centered therapy to place the person's goals and perspective at the center of each session. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the individual.She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress through clear strategies and homework exercises.
Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are helpful. DBT techniques teach practical tools for handling intense feelings and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristine will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try, adjust plans as progress is made, and prioritize what fits the client's goals and preferences.
Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and access care around work, family, and daily life.
