Background and approach
Her approach is direct and caring, aimed at everyday improvements. Kristin uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma history is central to a person's struggles.
Treatment plans are tailored to each person's needs and priorities. In sessions she keeps the work collaborative. Kristin helps people set small, manageable steps and practices between meetings.
She emphasizes skills that apply to daily life, like mood management, grounding, sleep routines, and communication strategies. Kristin aims to create an affirming space for LGBT clients and for people processing grief, loss, or complex family dynamics. Sessions are offered in English and available through multiple online formats to fit different schedules.
How trauma-focused methods translate to online care
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try small, concrete changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily mood management. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for clients whose symptoms stem from traumatic memories; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distress linked to those memories through structured processing.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kristin will discuss options and help decide which method fits a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to be shorter. Live chat or messaging is helpful for quick check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy routines while keeping focus on practical skills and trauma resolution.
