Online therapy options and approach
Kristen provides remote sessions using a range of communication methods, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for flexible ways to meet and continue therapeutic work while maintaining a consistent process across sessions.
Her use of Client-Centered Therapy centers on understanding the client’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting concerns back, and working together to identify what matters most to the person in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is employed to translate insights into specific strategies. CBT techniques are used to examine thought patterns, test assumptions, and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress.
People who prefer a balanced mix of empathetic listening and structured skill-building may find this combination fits well. Communication can take place through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what best supports ongoing work.
