Therapeutic Approaches Available through Online Sessions

Kristine draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each client’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and set the pace; it is helpful for those seeking support with emotional expression and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted tools for processing and resolving the impact of past trauma and abuse, helping clients reduce symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kristine works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy aligns with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy with Kristine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not convenient.
