How Kristin’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to let difficult thoughts have less control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress continues so the approach stays practical and useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio or video depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to remote settings so skills and strategies continue between meetings.
