Therapeutic approaches and online care

Krissel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s values and goals to strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful for habit change, managing health-related behaviors, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Krissel collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Krissel offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support during major life changes, and maintain continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to deliver structured, goal-oriented work and to support lasting change.
