Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Kristin uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's goals and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their choices and values. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make decisions or regain motivation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding. CBT is practical and skill-based, so it often translates well to exercises done between sessions for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Kristin may include brief mindfulness exercises to help with grounding and attention skills when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That conversation happens early and is revisited as goals change or progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or homework prompts between appointments. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or other obligations, making it easier to keep therapy consistent.
