Online sessions using structured and present-focused methods
Krissel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. In sessions she works collaboratively to translate insights into concrete strategies that can be practiced between meetings. This approach can suit people who want structured skill building for anxiety, depression, or mood management.
She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to increase awareness of moment-to-moment experience and to develop self-compassion when facing guilt, shame, or isolation. Motivational Interviewing informs her work when clients are weighing change or facing ambivalence, helping them clarify values and personal goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to map immediate steps and highlight existing strengths.
Krissel offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options support collaborative work that combines practical exercises, reflective inquiry, and short-term goal setting suited to each person’s rhythm and needs.
