Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristen integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-focused methods to address the concerns clients bring. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for each person’s perspective and collaborative listening, helping individuals explore their experiences and identify personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, stress, and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic events, offering structured support to process and reduce trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Kristen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time to suit what is most helpful for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions when they prefer face-to-face conversation, or use live chat and text-based messaging for shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options support consistent access to care and make it easier to integrate therapy into daily life.
