Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act in line with their values. Attachment-based concepts are used to understand how past connections shape current relationships. With eight years of experience and an LPCC credential, Kristine practices in New Mexico and supports people through transitions and complex struggles.
Her background includes work with trauma, substance use, mood disorders, and challenges related to sexual orientation and identity. She focuses on practical steps rather than long explanations, helping clients try strategies and see what works. Sessions emphasize skills that can be practiced between meetings, such as emotion regulation, communication techniques, and behavioral experiments.
Kristine also addresses issues like parenting stress, sleep problems, body image, and work-related burnout when they come up. Progress is framed in small, measurable changes rather than sudden fixes. She offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
That flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and keeps momentum between sessions.
How Kristine’s Approaches Work Online
Kristine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. The therapist and client look at current problems, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s style. Adjustments are made as needed so the approach stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to keep consistent appointments. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging support short check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible communication when schedules are tight.
