Her style is flexible and respectful. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions often blend client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to build coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.

Kristy has practiced in Ohio and holds the LISW credential, which reflects her social work background and clinical experience. She adapts how she works depending on each person's situation and preferences, aiming to make therapy useful from the first few meetings.

People come to Kristy for a range of concerns including mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum and grief-related struggles, parenting challenges, and LGBT or intimacy-related questions.

How Kristy Uses Approaches Online

Kristy draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel grounded in each person's experience. That approach means she starts by listening closely and shaping conversation around what matters most to the client, which is useful for exploring identity, relationships, and life purpose.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to practice new coping skills. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and managing everyday stress through concrete exercises and homework you can try between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy is part of her online toolkit for people who want shorter-term goal work. It focuses on small, achievable steps and on building solutions that fit your life, which is often helpful for parenting challenges, communication problems, or navigating life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristy will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then adapt methods as you go. That collaborative process helps make sure the plan fits your needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and shared tools, phone sessions may fit better when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reminders. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, and busy days.
