About Kristel
Kristel creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore aspects of identity that may feel difficult to discuss elsewhere, including religion, spirituality, and sexuality. Through a combination of exploration and accountability, she partners with clients to uncover passions, build purpose, and strengthen self-connection on the path toward self-actualization. Her approach blends practical coping skills with deeper work on relational patterns and self-esteem.
Kristel works with adults ages 18 and up, offering encouragement and support at each step as clients confront issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, shame and guilt, and the effects of past abandonment or trauma. She helps clients develop strategies for communication, impulse control, and managing life changes so they can move toward more fulfilling, authentic lives.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take action aligned with those values, while teaching practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and emotions - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships, which can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and communication difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist-client relationship as a space for empathy and unconditional positive regard, supporting self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristel works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and effective. Clients are active partners in shaping the path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals, including Kristel, use these modalities to provide consistent therapeutic support while honoring each client’s pace and priorities.
