Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kristin integrates Client-Centered Therapy and EMDR with cognitive techniques to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead to create a supportive environment for exploring goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps people process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin works with each person to determine which methods fit their history, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are involved in decisions about pacing and focus so treatment aligns with what matters most to them.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional and continuing therapeutic progress.
