For emotional regulation and coping with intense feelings she applies elements of dialectical behavior therapy. These methods are chosen to match what a person needs that week or month.

Kristine can help sort priorities, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of responding to conflict and pressure. Her style is practical, calm, and focused on small, doable steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on seeing and hearing what matters to you and building sessions around your goals. It helps people who want a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It often involves brief exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills for those who struggle with intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues and face-to-face discussion are useful. Phone sessions can be a simple check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates, coaching, or skills practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
