How therapy approaches guide online work

Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often includes small experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT techniques focus on managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi will discuss goals and preferences and recommend tools from these models that match a client’s needs. The plan is collaborative and adjusted over time as progress is tracked.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types and scheduling options to choose what best fits everyday life.
