Background and approach
That may include changing how someone thinks about a situation or unpacking patterns that keep repeating. Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on the person's own priorities and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Sessions are a mix of conversation, reflection, and straightforward strategies tailored to each person. Kristine pays attention to life transitions, parenting stress, career decisions, grief, trauma, and challenges related to intimacy or eating. She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue.
The emphasis is on workable steps the client can try between meetings. People who choose Kristine can expect a partnered process. She frames herself as an advocate and collaborator who helps identify goals, break problems into manageable pieces, and track what changes over time.
How her approaches work online
Kristine uses client-centered therapy to follow the client's priorities and create a respectful, paced space for change. That approach is about listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that cause distress and to test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT is helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, and problems that respond to step-by-step adjustments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will work with each person to weigh needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats let people access a licensed professional from different locations and schedules, while keeping focus on progress and usable tools.
