How Kristin's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting choices where values guide practical change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with experiments and new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing strong reactions like anger.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Kristin will discuss these approaches with clients and tailor the plan based on goals, preferences, and what works in practice. Together they try methods and adjust as needed rather than committing to a single path up front.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy parents and working adults. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and run deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when video would be difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a day and keep progress moving forward.
