How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Kristin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques when working with clients online. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward them, which helps with motivation and coping. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

She also integrates somatic and trauma-focused practices when body sensations and past events affect day-to-day functioning. Somatic methods help people notice and gently shift physical tension that fuels anxiety or sleep problems. Trauma-focused work helps organize memories and responses so they feel less overwhelming during everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin starts by listening to your goals and current struggles, then together you try strategies that fit your routine and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, combining coaching-style tools with therapeutic methods as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone can be a simpler check-in, and chat or texting can work for brief updates or coping prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
