How Kristin Uses Therapy Methods Online

Kristin often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small steps toward them, even when feelings are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how people feel and act.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and which methods feel most useful. Together they shape a plan that fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to continue care between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions, using practical exercises, values-based planning, and skills practice to support change.
