Approaches and online options that fit your life

Krista uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the client's perspective and strengths so they can set the pace and goals of the work.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Krista will work with each person to identify needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. If something doesn't work, she adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or updates between sessions and fit therapy into work breaks or a tight schedule. These options make it simpler to keep steady progress without long commutes or rigid appointment times.
