Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Krista uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps individuals who need empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting as they navigate relationship challenges, parenting concerns, or life transitions.
She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by teaching practical skills and strategies for change.
Solution-focused techniques are woven into her work to help clients set clear, achievable goals and build on existing strengths. This method is especially effective when clients want targeted, short-term progress on specific problems such as career decisions, coping with change, or improving communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Krista collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
