Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on real-life skills that can ease daily stress and improve focus and mood. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
That approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and managing impulsivity or communication problems. Kristine also draws on her experience supporting people through grief, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. Her work includes attention to body image, isolation and loneliness, control issues, and post-traumatic stress when these issues come up.
She also supports women’s issues and concerns related to identity and midlife shifts. Sessions aim to be practical, paced to each person, and focused on what the client wants to change. Kristine trained and practices in California and speaks English.
She encourages people who are unsure whether therapy will help to take a small next step and explore options together.
How Kristine’s CBT Approach Works Online
Kristine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practice new, more helpful responses. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, and managing impulsivity, and it emphasizes exercises you can try between sessions.She pairs CBT with practical coaching around life changes, grief, and compassion fatigue to make strategies relevant to everyday routines. In that collaborative process she listens to what you want to work on, tests approaches, and adjusts plans together so you find what fits your needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing notes, or quick strategy refreshers between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving commitments.
