Everything Kristin lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Kristin's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Kristin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify patterns of thought that feed anger or low mood and replace them with more helpful responses. Solution-focused methods concentrate on clear goals and small, immediate steps that lead to real change. These approaches are useful for anger, depression, motivation, and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will discuss options and tailor strategies to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaborative process, adjusting methods over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching, or when scheduling needs to be more flexible. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity between appointments.
