Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Kristi Strickland draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practicing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-criticism. It is often centered on practical skills you can apply between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values and building steps toward a more meaningful life. This approach can be especially useful during life transitions, periods of high stress, and when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier communication, supporting people who want more stability in mood and relationships.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kristi works collaboratively with clients to understand what matters most, clarify goals, and choose strategies that align with individual needs and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and support between appointments.
