How Kristen’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life changes where values and action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy issues, codependency, and trust challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can help people keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
