Therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristy uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - it can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and building life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and moods, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that strengthens a person’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and encouraging small, manageable steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and engage in therapy in ways that suit individual schedules and communication styles while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
