Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills to shift reactions and manage symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores a person’s motivations and ambivalence about change - it can be especially helpful when someone is weighing difficult decisions or working toward new habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps; by highlighting what is already working, it supports clients in creating concrete, forward-looking solutions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can evolve over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to provide ongoing support across different formats.
