Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kristen integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work to address emotional and relational challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients build safer, more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and listening so clients feel heard and able to explore their values and goals. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kristen works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend methods over time so treatment stays responsive to progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy makes it possible to access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and location. Working with licensed professionals in this format can support consistent care when in-person options are limited, and allows clients to engage in therapy in a way that fits their daily life.
