People looking to start therapy are invited to consider their goals and readiness for change. Kristy helps prioritize next steps and works with each person to find approaches that fit their situation and preferences.
Practical techniques and online access
Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach teaches concrete coping skills for cravings, urges, and intense emotions so people can keep making steady progress after setbacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Together you will decide which techniques feel most useful and set realistic tasks to practice between meetings.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
