Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristina Mattingly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness-based strategies are used alongside these therapies to increase present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and support coping with stress and trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts plans over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to continue momentum between meetings, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to tailor interventions to each person's schedule and needs.
