How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Kristin draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach focuses on clear exercises and homework that improve mood and reduce reactivity. It is often used for low mood, worries, and trouble managing anger.She also uses solution-focused ideas that zero in on small, practical goals. Those sessions emphasize what is already working and build step-by-step strategies to handle specific family or caregiver challenges. This approach helps when someone wants quick, doable steps to test between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Kristin will talk with the client about goals, day-to-day routines, and what feels most useful. She collaborates to choose strategies that match the person’s life and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will be offered. Online work can make it easier to attend regular check-ins and to practice skills in everyday settings without rearranging your whole day.
