Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with people facing major life changes. That experience informs a straightforward style that mixes thinking-based tools with attention to feelings and relationships. She often draws on approaches that teach new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.
Kristy emphasizes collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and works alongside them to set realistic goals. She explains techniques clearly and practices them together in-session so people can try them out in daily life.
Care is offered in English from her Utah practice. Kristy aims to create a calm, practical space for people ready to address anxiety, stress, or patterns that have become hard to manage.
How ACT, CBT, and EFT translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and stress when avoidance is getting in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with doable behavioral changes. CBT is a common tool for panic attacks, mood concerns, and learning concrete coping strategies to reduce worry and reactivity.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in the context of relationships and attachment. It can help people understand strong feelings and improve how they connect or communicate with others when emotions feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative path helps match methods to what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill work between longer sessions. These options make scheduling flexible and allow therapy to fit into work, school, or family routines.
