How her approaches fit into online therapy

Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; this approach is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past hurts and their impact on current reactions, which can help when trauma is part of someone’s anger or stress. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas appear in sessions to explore recurring themes and deeper emotional patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She often blends tools so sessions address immediate problems while also attending to longer-term patterns.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and provide a consistent check-in during stressful periods. Some people find shorter check-ins or phone conversations easier on heavy days, while others prefer full sessions for deeper exploration.
