Online approaches that meet everyday needs

Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often useful for worries, low mood, anger, and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be helpful for ongoing stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will discuss your goals and preferences and pick strategies you can try. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts methods over time based on what helps you most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text let you check in quickly or use shorter sessions between other obligations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
