How Kristen’s Approaches Work Online
Kristen draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice and rewrite the stories that shape their daily life. Narrative work focuses on separating the person from the problem so you can find new meanings and make different choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings appear.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will listen to your goals and try different strategies together. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the approach to match your needs and preferences as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text allow for brief check-ins between sessions and for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to use methods that suit your routine and comfort.
