How her approaches translate to online work

Kristi frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take value-driven action even when feelings are hard. ACT focuses on values, present-moment noticing, and small steps toward meaningful goals, which can help with depression, anxiety, and life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and practices new skills between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try methods that fit best. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more convenient. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care while working on real-life changes.
