Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Kristine (Kristy) Eaton blends client-centered therapy with evidence-informed methods to support a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own perspective and strengths, creating a respectful space where personal goals and values guide the work. It is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be beneficial for chronic emotional distress and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Eaton works with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
