Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions in ways that are practical and person-focused. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience, prioritizing empathic understanding and a nonjudgmental stance so people can explore feelings and arrive at their own solutions; this approach suits relationship concerns and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kristen works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through remote formats while tailoring the pace and tools to each client’s situation.
