Approaches and how they work online
Kristen commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, building trust, and following what matters most to the person; it helps people feel heard and figure out their own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems alive and uses small experiments and skill practice to change daily habits and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kristen treats the decision as collaborative and tailored to each person's needs and goals. She often blends approaches, checking in about what feels useful and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue momentum between appointments.
