How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Kristen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change day-to-day habits and manage emotional pain. One common approach she applies focuses on building self-compassion and emotion regulation skills; this teaches clients simple practices to reduce harsh self-judgment and calm intense feelings. Another approach emphasizes communication skills training to help people express needs more clearly and repair difficult interactions with others.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about current concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online work include making sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are offered. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, steady weekly work, or flexible scheduling to accommodate medical appointments or caregiving demands.
