Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Online support

Mindfulness and practical strategies for online care

Kristin uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. This approach can reduce reactivity to stress and improve focus, which helps with anxiety, mood swings, and parenting tensions.

Her online work blends mindfulness practice with clear goal-setting and everyday coping skills. Sessions often include brief guided exercises, discussion of what came up, and concrete plans to try between meetings. This combination can help people make steady, manageable changes in routine and behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit their life. Together they adjust methods as progress unfolds and new challenges arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
