Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Kristina often uses Client-Centered Therapy to ground sessions in acceptance and respect, which helps people feel heard and understood during remote appointments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; its homework and short exercises work well across video or messaging formats. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be taught, practiced, and reviewed in virtual sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the issue at hand. She adjusts the mix of techniques as people learn what helps them most, so therapy evolves with the client’s needs.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing processing between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
