Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Kristi Skeem uses evidence-informed methods adapted for remote sessions to meet a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is practical for anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and stress-related problems. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose, and values when clients face life transitions, loss, or concerns about mortality and identity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people feel understood and supported while they discover their own solutions and strengths.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristi works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits their needs and preferences. The therapist and client decide together which methods will be most helpful at each stage of care.
Online therapy with Kristi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals when juggling work, family, or geographic constraints, while preserving the therapeutic focus on growth, coping skills, and meaningful change.
