Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kristine draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens and helps clients explore their own values and goals - this approach is helpful for building trust and clarifying priorities. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and manage mood - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences while building coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristine works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies together as progress unfolds to ensure the plan stays collaborative and responsive.

Online therapy with Kristine is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier for people to receive consistent care around work, family, or other commitments while engaging in a structured therapeutic process.
