Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and interpersonal struggles. Mindfulness-based approaches teach simple attention and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, trauma reminders, and ongoing life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristina works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to receive consistent care from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of their schedule. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support from home, work, or other locations when needed.
