How Kristen’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what’s going on, and helps you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and working through sensitive topics like trauma or self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often include practical tools and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She adapts the plan as progress is made and as new issues come up.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try techniques between sessions in their everyday routines, which can reinforce skills learned in therapy.
