Online support

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life

Kristena uses evidence-based techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One approach centers on identifying and changing patterns in relationships and attachment - it helps people notice repeating behaviors and try new responses to feel more connected. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing mood and anxiety through structured problem solving and behavioral changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristena collaborates with each person to understand goals, preferences, and needs, then adjusts methods as progress is made. She treats therapy as a team effort where the plan evolves based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments, and caregiving responsibilities.
