How therapy approaches translate to online care

Kristina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice new skills in daily life. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many habit-based problems.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and reflecting what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard while they clarify their goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and allow quick check-ins between longer sessions.
