Background and approach
She brings five years of professional experience to her work and draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs. Her style blends directive and non-directive techniques. That means she may guide sessions with specific strategies at times, and listen and reflect more when that fits better.
Kristin pays attention to automatic negative thoughts and helps people notice and challenge patterns that cause distress. Sessions often include simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and build skills for everyday life. She works step-by-step, helping people try small changes that add up over time.
Kristin aims to help clients find clearer thinking and more reliable coping. She invites people to take that first step and recognizes asking for help can feel hard. In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the client and adapts methods to match personal goals and pace.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying automatic negative thoughts and testing them with practical exercises; it often helps with anxiety and depression through skill building. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses empathic listening and reflection to help clarify goals and build self-directed change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Then methods are blended and adjusted so sessions fit the client's pace and priorities.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text help with shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and day-to-day life.
