Online support
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Kristen draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. She emphasizes approaches that teach concrete skills for managing anxiety and mood, such as behavioral strategies that break problems into small, manageable steps and practiceable routines. These strategies help when panic, mood swings, or daily stress disrupt functioning.She also uses trauma-informed methods that focus on safety, pacing, and processing difficult memories at a tolerable speed. That work aims to reduce the power of past events over current feelings and reactions while building coping skills for triggering situations.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Kristen will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your life. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what feels realistic for your schedule.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging supports brief check-ins or between-session contact. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between visits.
