BHow sessions work
How Kristen uses CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work online
Kristen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.She also brings mindfulness therapy into sessions to help people notice bodily sensations, emotions, and urges without immediately reacting. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and improve mood regulation in day-to-day life.
Client-centered therapy is a through-line in her work. That approach emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own priorities. It supports clearer decision making and more direct problem solving when people feel overwhelmed.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting them as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and reduce travel time, helping people keep consistent appointments.
