Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people name and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small, practical goals and trying short experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.She also uses EMDR to address past traumatic memories when the person and therapist agree it may help. EMDR works by pairing focused attention on distressing memories with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging make it possible to exchange shorter messages between scheduled meetings. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
