Approaches and Online Support for Meaningful Change
Kristen often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where a person’s own priorities guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and validation. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and improving relationships.
She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develops concrete skills to shift behaviors and emotional responses. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching tools to reframe thinking and practice new coping strategies.
Mindfulness therapy is another component of her practice, teaching attention and awareness techniques that help reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. Mindfulness can support stress reduction and improve focus for people with ADHD or ongoing worry.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kristen works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and together determines which methods fit best, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible.
