Online sessions and approach
Kristie offers remote therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make continuity of care more accessible. Sessions are shaped to the needs a person brings and Kristie adapts her use of skills work, reflective exploration, and motivational strategies depending on what a client prefers and what the situation requires.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and to develop practical behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy provides a skills-based focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or impulsivity are present. Motivational interviewing supports moments when someone is weighing change, helping clarify values and strengthen readiness without pressure.
These approaches are often blended in collaboration with the client so that sessions can emphasize skill practice, present-moment awareness, or narrative exploration as appropriate. The range of communication options accommodates different comfort levels with technology and allows ongoing support between or instead of live video sessions when needed.
