How Kristin’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Kristin commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and regulating emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, try things in session, and adjust methods based on what fits. That means starting with assessment and moving toward skills or relational work as needed.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows using CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and DBT skills work in ways that map onto everyday routines and challenges.
