Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Attachment and CBT

Kristen integrates attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice to address emotional and relational concerns in a clear, practical way. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current ways of connecting, and it helps clients build more secure and satisfying bonds. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and teaches skills to change reactions and cope with anxiety, mood symptoms, and everyday stress.

She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the individual’s goals and pace, creating a collaborative process in which therapist and client decide together which approaches fit best. Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a shared exploration tailored to the client’s needs, preferences, and objectives.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical benefits for people juggling work, family, health, or mobility concerns. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain consistency during life transitions, and allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own environment, supporting continuity of care and gradual progress over time.
