How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Kristina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to see what works. This approach can be helpful for worries, anxious thoughts, and low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT tools offer simple, teachable strategies for calming intense feelings and handling moments of crisis. Narrative Therapy is used as well to help people reframe difficult stories and see alternative meanings in their experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She adjusts plans over time when something isn’t working or when new priorities emerge.
Online therapy lets people connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for brief check-ins or shorter, more frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what helps most.
