She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and issues related to LGBTQ identities.

Background and approach
Kristine focuses on clear, usable skills people can practice between meetings, along with space to process strong emotions. Common concerns she addresses include grief, relationship and intimacy questions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and coping with life changes. Parenting appears among her areas of interest and she supports parents who want help managing stress, boundaries, and day-to-day challenges.
Kristine integrates approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotion-focused techniques. She may use mindfulness, values work, behavior experiments, and emotion coaching as appropriate to the client’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in several formats.
She explains options and works with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and preferences.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Kristine uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, and attachment-based ideas in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical experiments and new routines to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take action toward meaningful goals rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-based approaches look at how past relationship patterns shape current connection and trust, and they support building new ways of relating to others and to oneself.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending methods. Together a plan is built that mixes short-term skills and deeper emotion work to match the person’s needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper emotional work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These formats give flexibility for fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while retaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
