How Kristi's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which is useful for stress, panic, and mood swings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people a space to be heard and to build their own solutions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then try techniques that seem useful. Plans are adjusted over time so the work fits what actually helps in a person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from home or work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and text-based messaging supports ongoing notes and progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
