Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Therapist

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to actions that align with personal values. It supports managing difficult thoughts and feelings so individuals can pursue meaningful goals despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address symptoms related to addiction or mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kristin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create an individualized plan, and clients are involved in choosing the focus and pace of work.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working toward personal goals.
