Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kristi draws from client-centered therapy to place the client’s perspective and values at the center of care. This approach focuses on listening, empathic understanding and supporting people to explore their own goals and strengths, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression and stress-related issues by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and build coping routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, anger and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapy from home or on the go. These formats can make scheduling easier, support continuity during life changes and provide multiple ways to communicate so therapy can fit into a person’s routine.
