How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what you say, helps you name goals, and supports decisions you choose to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to reframe unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma processing and involves guided procedures to help reduce the intensity of painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your needs. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
