Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach she employs teaches practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, structured problem solving, and short behavioral experiments to test what helps. These tools are useful for daily stressors and managing anxious moments.Another frequent focus is on building self-esteem and motivation through behavioral activation and goal-setting. This approach helps people break tasks into small, manageable steps and reintroduce activities that improve mood and confidence. It can be especially helpful for depression and low motivation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time based on how the client responds and what fits their schedule and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle brief check-ins during the week, or choose a format that requires less bandwidth or travel.
