How Kristen’s methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting you where you are. The therapist offers empathy and support, helping people talk through hard emotions and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits by practicing different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body, which can help with stress and grief.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay useful and relevant to what the person needs.
