How Kristen’s approaches adapt to online work
Kristen often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to build small, concrete behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will listen to goals and concerns, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques or skills make sense for real life demands and parenting challenges.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new communication or coping skills between responsibilities and bring examples from daily life into conversation.
