Approaches That Guide Online Counseling

Kristen integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online work to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and actions that create a meaningful life - it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and early attachment experiences, helping clients understand how those patterns show up in adult connections and find healthier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist offers respect and understanding to help individuals build self-awareness and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques while honoring each person's strengths and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage in therapy in ways that feel most practical for each person while working with licensed professionals and therapists to support progress.
