Background and approach
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focusing on what feels most useful to each person she meets. In sessions she listens carefully and helps clients clarify their goals. She draws on methods that encourage present-moment awareness, values-driven action, and working through unhelpful thinking patterns.
Kristin also uses approaches that center the client and build motivation for change. Kristin has worked with people facing a wide range of issues beyond core concerns, including caregiver stress, body image, substance use, family of origin matters, fertility and grief around separation or divorce. She offers direct, steady support while helping clients break problems into small, manageable steps.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Kristin helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions while keeping attention on what matters most to them. She meets clients where they are and moves at a pace that feels right.
How Kristin’s Approaches Translate Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice thoughts without being driven by them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful habits, which works well for anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with emphasis on listening and building a trusting working relationship that supports change.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Kristin will work with each person to choose which methods seem most helpful based on their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical for the client’s situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people keep therapy consistent with busy lives.
