How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple experiments you can do between sessions to build better habits and reduce stress.She also works with mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help people notice difficult emotions and body sensations without getting overwhelmed. These techniques often include short breathing exercises and attention practices that can be used during daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Therapy is an experiment in what works for the individual rather than a fixed prescription.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or check in from a quieter place. Online meetings can make it easier to maintain consistent work on skills between appointments without changing your daily routine.
