Background and approach
Kristen also offers support around ADHD symptoms and life transitions. Kristen blends talk-based work with hands-on ideas. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that fuel worry and to try new thinking and behavior experiments.
Mindfulness techniques help people slow down and notice what’s happening in the moment. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help clients find their own next steps and build momentum. She often supports women around motherhood and the changes it brings, including postpartum concerns and balancing work and caregiving.
Kristen also works with people facing career stress, low self-esteem, anger, and grief from life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and workplace issues. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented.
Kristen aims to make therapy feel like collaborative problem solving. She encourages practical tools that fit daily life and adjusts methods to suit each person’s needs.

Approaches that fit into busy lives
Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening and understanding so the person can choose the changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and is useful for stress, panic, and mood concerns.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what is working and what is not.
Online therapy formats make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Video calls help maintain a close, face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing check-ins and quick coaching between sessions. These options let people use the format that best matches their routine and comfort level.
