Online support options
Approaches that translate to online work
Kristine uses methods that adapt well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Over time she checks in and adjusts techniques based on what is helping most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when audio only is easier or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or shorter conversations between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
