Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kristin often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and learn ways to live in alignment with what matters to them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for issues like anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she uses. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Client-Centered Therapy is woven into her style as well, offering empathic listening and support that helps clients explore their own goals and build self-directed growth, which can benefit self-esteem, relationships, and personal insight.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals can adapt techniques over time to match progress.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and choose the communication style that works best for their life and comfort.
