How Her Approaches Work Online

Krista often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, then try different ways of responding. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around what matters most to the person. That approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Krista will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans over time based on what works, and she invites feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations when seeing cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick access between sessions or a more private way to communicate without being on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people pick what fits their daily routine.
