Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Krista commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration - the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and goals, which can be especially useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills practice, making it a strong option for anxiety, stress, and mood-related challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel ambivalent about change by strengthening internal motivation and clarifying priorities, which can aid parenting shifts, lifestyle changes, and moments of transition.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krista works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what actually works for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and clients in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from a wider geographic area while accommodating varied daily routines.
