Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristine draws from several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than struggling with them. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships, helping people understand how early bonds shape current connection and repair strategies for healthier interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kristine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She integrates techniques as needed and adjusts the plan with client input to promote meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to connect from a distance. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support, skill-building, and problem solving in ways that are accessible and adaptable to each client’s routine.
