Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kristin uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process loss and adjust to change. One common approach she relies on focuses on processing grief through narrative and emotion work - helping people name and sit with feelings so they lose intensity over time. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral steps to manage daily life during transitions - setting small goals and tracking progress to restore routine and control.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will talk with you about what feels most useful and try different techniques as needed. She collaborates with clients to shape sessions around goals, values, and what fits into each person’s life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep face-to-face contact without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
