How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Krista uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. That means conversations start with the client's goals and priorities, and she helps shape the work around those aims.She also brings cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep problems going, and it can produce practical strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Krista works collaboratively to decide whether client-centered methods, CBT, or motivational interviewing fit a person's needs and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and obstacles appear.

Licensed professionals often use these practical features to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than replace in-person care.
