Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients build skills for coping with life transitions, managing stress and anxiety, improving relationships, and addressing family and attachment concerns. She works with a range of relationship issues including blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, infidelity, and communication problems, and she offers focused support for postpartum concerns, body image and self-esteem, isolation and loneliness, and financial or vocational stressors.

Krista is committed to helping clients find workable strategies that fit their lives, and she tailors interventions to each person or family. She is not currently accepting new clients. She does work with international clients when arrangements allow, and she communicates in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Krista uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, validating experience, and helping people identify their priorities so they can make meaningful changes in family, parenting, or relationship contexts.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people recognize and adjust unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, and practical coping skills for life transitions and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krista works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules or across time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or while traveling, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for communicating and working toward goals.
