Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kris Rice draws on approaches that combine understanding relationships, practical skill building, and present-focused awareness. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior, helping people address patterns that affect intimacy, trust, and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, supporting emotion regulation and stress reduction across many life challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kris works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and those who need remote access to care. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations while maintaining a steady course toward the client’s goals.
