She has experience with postpartum depression, veteran and armed forces issues, and other trauma-related challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you find your own solutions - this can make online sessions feel focused and personal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and replace them with more helpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean mixing short-term, solution-focused steps with trauma-focused work or CBT tools depending on what you want to accomplish.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make scheduling around work or caregiving more practical. Different approaches also shape session tasks: CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework, while Client-Centered time may focus more on open talk and reflection. Please confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers when you schedule.
