How Kristi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Kristi commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change upsetting thought patterns and reduce anxiety. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change and build commitment when habits like substance use or avoidance get in the way. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether CBT, motivational techniques, or a mix of methods makes sense for the issue at hand. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like a barrier. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while still getting consistent support.Questions people ask
