BHow sessions work

How Kristin uses common therapy methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on choosing values and taking concrete steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking that keep problems going and tests new behaviors to change outcomes. It is useful for managing worry, depressive thinking, and changing reactions in relationships. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making a change. It uses short, guided conversations to explore ambivalence and build readiness for next steps. Kristin approaches choice of method as a collaborative task. She will work with each person to identify which approach fits their goals and preferences, and can combine elements from different methods as needed. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats on the booking page because the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, reduce travel time, and let someone use a quieter setting rather than commuting. Some formats also avoid video when bandwidth or camera use is impractical. Discuss practical needs during the initial scheduling step so sessions fit into daily life without assuming particular technical or format arrangements.
