Online support
How CBT and online sessions can help you move forward
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that get in the way. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. It works well for stress, worry, obsessive thinking, and many mood concerns.Her sessions are collaborative. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set small, concrete steps and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling simpler. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversations, while phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving obligations and to pick the format that works best for each session.
