Background and approach
Kristin began her career in Kentucky and has practiced in Florida since 2015. Her style centers on building a strong, trusting relationship. She believes that connection between therapist and client matters most.
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on the person’s goals. Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help people learn skills and change unhelpful patterns. She balances skill building with compassion so people can accept themselves while making practical changes.
She often helps people explore identity-related concerns, including sexuality and gender, and how those parts of self affect relationships and wellbeing. Work can include processing identity, improving self-compassion, and building stronger connections with others. Kristin’s sessions are aimed at real-life problems like coping with change, managing mood swings, handling career stress, and dealing with loneliness or guilt.
She supports people who want clear tools and steady emotional support as they move forward.
How Kristin’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. ACT helps people notice difficult emotions, clarify what matters to them, and take action aligned with their values.Her work is collaborative. She will help clients choose which approach or combination fits their needs and goals. Together they look at what a person wants to change, what gets in the way, and which skills or perspectives feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school schedules, or busy family days while keeping a steady course of care.
