Approaches that fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps clarify personal values and guide small actions that move life toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought that increase anxiety or stress and practicing alternative responses to change behavior. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands, then suggest which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adapts tools or pace based on what is helpful for the client.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and let people use techniques in the context of their everyday routines.
