Background and approach

Krista often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She pairs that with client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's values and choices. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change.

She has worked with people facing postpartum mood challenges, military-related stress, blended family concerns, and issues around body image and self-esteem. Krista also helps with attachment questions, communication problems, and coping with big life transitions like divorce or separation. Practical tools are a regular part of sessions.

That might include setting small goals, trying new communication strategies, or planning steps to manage anxiety and daily stress. Krista supports people as they test changes and adjust plans over time.

Therapeutic approaches that fit online care

Krista commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that increase anxiety or stress, then try practical steps to change them. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and values, offering a listening, supportive space to make decisions that feel right.

She also draws on motivational interviewing when a person wants help finding motivation to make life changes. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover personal reasons for change and build momentum. Together these approaches aim to pair clear, doable steps with respect for each person's goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the person's anxiety, stress, or family and parenting concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different days and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports brief updates or working through exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.
