How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity; it can be helpful for grief, overwhelm, and caregiver stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their priorities, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust methods based on what is helpful. That process is collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. They can also allow shorter check-ins, remove commute time, and offer options that work around caregiving and work obligations. Licensed professionals will discuss session length and rhythm during the first meeting to match therapy to everyday life.
