Therapeutic approaches and online care

Krista McClinton integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her practice to support clients in meaningful ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach helps with building self-esteem, increasing confidence, and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and improving coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Krista works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore strategies, adjust techniques, and track progress so therapy feels personalized and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across distances.
