How Kristin’s approaches translate to online sessions

Kristin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and frustration by shifting focus toward meaningful activity rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, practical steps and is useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Kristin treats it as a team effort. She will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust techniques over time so sessions match what feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on tough days. Some formats also make it simpler to continue care when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills well to remote sessions, focusing on practical exercises, behavior experiments, and emotion regulation skills that translate into everyday routines.
