Kristi emphasizes collaboration and clear, simple goals so progress feels manageable. She welcomes conversations about specific concerns such as body image, parenting strain, addiction recovery, or career stress.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on clear goals and practical exercises that can reduce anxiety, depression, and worry about daily life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action. ACT is useful for work with grief, persistent anxiety, and making life changes that matter to the person.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then adapt methods so therapy fits their situation. Together they choose steps to try and adjust the plan based on how those steps work in real life.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
