Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Trauma Work
Kristin Perkins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy alongside mindfulness-based techniques to address the concerns clients bring to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then develop practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to stressful situations - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress linked to life transitions.Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on understanding how early attachments shape adult relationship patterns and teaches partners to communicate in ways that promote healing and connection. It is especially helpful for couples and family members seeking to repair communication and rebuild trust.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity, improve emotion regulation, and support recovery after trauma. These practices can be woven into sessions to help clients stay grounded and increase resilience.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods based on their goals, history, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, manage childcare or work demands, and maintain continuity of support across life changes. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful progress through these remote formats while accommodating each client's logistical needs.
