Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Kristen Rawls integrates evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings - it can help with anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore concerns at their own pace; it is useful for building self-esteem and improving relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, often benefiting those with depression and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristen works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kristen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across different routines. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care, adapt session styles to what works best, and make consistent progress without requiring travel.
