She favors a collaborative style where goals come from the person sitting across from her. Kristen helps people weigh options and select strategies that fit their life and values. Progress is paced to what feels doable rather than rushed.

04Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Kristen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first environment where a person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead. This approach helps when someone needs a safe place to talk through grief, anxiety, or relationship concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depressed mood, and patterns that feed stress. A trauma-informed, attachment-aware lens informs how she responds to strong emotions and safety in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help explore options, try methods that match personal goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure techniques fit a person's daily life and values.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, school, or family routines.
