Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Kristen Wilson, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping challenges.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive and collaborative style that emphasizes empathy, respect, and understanding the client’s perspective. This approach can be helpful when someone is processing grief, relationship strain, life transitions, or the effects of trauma and wants a steady space to be heard while building clarity and confidence.
Solution-Focused Therapy adds a goal-oriented lens, helping clients identify strengths, exceptions, and realistic next steps, especially when they want to move forward with practical changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristen works collaboratively with clients to shape therapy around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as those goals evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility without putting life on hold. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and stay engaged between appointments.
