She approaches each person with warmth and practical compassion, tailoring care to the unique history and goals that brought them to therapy. Kristie draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques - including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical approaches, narrative work, motivational interviewing, acceptance practices, and mindfulness-based tools - to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, build present-moment awareness, and shift behaviors that interfere with meaningful living.

Kristie emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and works collaboratively to set realistic goals and build skills that foster resilience and greater self-compassion. Her practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and focuses on meeting clients where they are during life transitions, grief, trauma recovery, substance use challenges, and ongoing self-exploration. For adults seeking steady, experienced support to regain clarity, calm, and a renewed sense of control, Kristie offers a thoughtful, client-centered path forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can respond to stressors with more effective strategies. Mindfulness-based approaches teach skills for present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can reduce reactivity and support recovery from anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior strategies offer practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for relationship strain and impulse-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristie works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing the person to fit a single model. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Kristie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of geographic constraints.
