Approaches Kristy Uses for Online Therapy

Kristy typically draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client s lead to build self-awareness and confidence. CBT is a skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps, helping clients set concrete goals and try small, achievable changes that move them toward clearer outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kristy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Kristy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support in ways that suit each person s routine.
