Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical strategies that reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication when stress feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. Together they set priorities, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit real life. Video calls let people work face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be useful for quieter conversations or when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice possible between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping care consistent.
