Remote therapy approaches
Kristin offers remote sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are used to provide an ongoing space for assessment, skills practice, and relational work when meeting in person is not possible or when clients prefer to connect remotely.
She frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is employed to track and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and to structure behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are taught for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
These methods are applied collaboratively: Kristin works with each person to decide which strategies to prioritize and to build practical skills that fit daily life. She accepts international clients and uses the listed remote formats to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and adjust the plan as goals evolve.
