Online sessions and therapeutic methods
Kristie provides remote care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Sessions can emphasize practical skills work or more reflective exploration depending on the person’s goals. The online format is used to support ongoing therapy for stress, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and related issues.
Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building new coping strategies, and dialectical behavior therapy elements that teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Psychodynamic approaches may be used to explore recurring relational patterns and underlying emotional themes. A client-centered orientation keeps the client’s priorities central and shapes how these methods are applied.
Prospective clients who prefer collaborative planning, a mix of skills training and exploration, and flexible communication options may find this approach aligns with their needs. Video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging are available for remote sessions.
