Background and approach

Kristi combines client-centered conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and set short-term goals that fit their lives. She keeps the work straightforward and results-oriented.

Kristi often helps with relationship worries, communication problems, and the emotional impact of trauma and loss. She also supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, and big life transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, women's issues, and developing self-love.

Sessions may take the form of live video, phone calls, live chat, or text-based messaging. The usual path to begin is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. She works with people who want practical, respectful support as they make changes.

How Kristi’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's story. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and follows their lead to build goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple techniques to notice thoughts that cause distress and to try different actions that can change feelings over time. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short-term progress by identifying small, practical steps and strengths to use right away.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristi works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That collaborative decision is revisited as things change so the work stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for full conversations that mirror an office visit. Phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
