Practical, skills-focused therapy that fits your life
Kristy Groves integrates approaches that help clients understand what they are going through and build tools to respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support clients working on mood swings, impulsive reactions, or relationship strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people make room for difficult feelings while moving toward values-based choices, which can be useful when anxiety, depression, or addiction-related concerns are pulling life off track.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristy works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel realistic and supportive for the moment they are in.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep care consistent. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, and day-to-day demands while still staying engaged in meaningful therapeutic work.
