BHow sessions work
How Kristin uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions around relationships and sexuality. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy examines repeating patterns in close relationships and supports changes in how people connect and respond to partners.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kristin will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process usually includes trying a few practical techniques and checking in about what helps and what doesn't.
