Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build different behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Kristi has three years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns including depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people facing family problems, communication struggles, caregiver stress, and postpartum mood issues. Work often centers on building coping skills and improving daily functioning. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Clients can expect to set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and adjust strategies over time. Kristi can partner with other health professionals when coordination is helpful. She offers appointments in Indiana and conducts work in English.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, parenting stress, and life changes by focusing on actions rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and repetitive negative thinking. Kristi treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with clients about goals and preferences and tries different techniques to see what fits. Over a few sessions she adjusts the plan so work feels relevant and doable. Online formats add practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, skill coaching between meetings, and parents juggling busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life and keep consistent progress.Questions people ask about Kristi
