How Kristin’s approaches work online

Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action so people can move toward what matters even when feelings are uncomfortable.

She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s experience, offering reflective feedback rather than one-size-fits-all answers. Kristin treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat can serve as shorter check-ins or support between longer meetings. These formats aim to provide flexibility and consistency so people can keep progress moving forward while balancing other responsibilities.
