She emphasizes collaboration so the plan fits each person’s life and responsibilities.
The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
How Kristin’s approaches translate to online care
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people manage anxiety and stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings, clarifying what matters, and taking actions that align with those values.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Kristin will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. She listens to how symptoms show up and adapts techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, skill reminders, and when scheduling or daily life makes longer sessions hard to fit in.
These options make it easier to maintain regular work on anxiety and stress, fit therapy into busy days, and try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
