How Kristi’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening, reflecting, and building rapport. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they sort through what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related habits, and coping with life changes.
EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used when trauma memories are keeping someone stuck. It pairs guided attention with talk-based processing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels most useful and practical.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Check which session types are currently offered before booking. People often choose live sessions for focused conversation; phone can be a shorter check-in, and chat may work for brief updates. Confirm options when you schedule so sessions match your routine and preferences.
