How Kristin Uses CBT, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thought patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which helps some people process distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. This approach can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to help people stabilize, build coping skills, and gradually process traumatic events at a pace they can handle. That work often begins with safety planning and grounding exercises before moving into more direct memory processing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs to shape which methods to try. Clients and the therapist regularly review progress and adjust plans as needed.
