Background and approach
Her work often involves building clearer routines, better sleep habits, and more reliable coping strategies. Kristin blends several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and teach new skills.
She draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns that have developed over time and how they show up now. When trauma is part of someone's story, she uses trauma-focused approaches to reduce distress and rebuild safety in everyday life. Solution-focused techniques are woven in to set small, achievable goals and notice progress quickly.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. Kristin works with adults in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. She emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper reflection so people leave sessions with something they can try right away.
Her goal is to help clients regain balance and move toward more meaningful connections and routines.
How her approaches work online
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps reduce the emotional impact of past events and builds skills to manage triggers and flashbacks.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life circumstances, and what feels workable, then recommend strategies to try. They check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, and fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different ways of working together.
