How Kristin's methods translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions; online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to spot patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying stressful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since session options are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make practicing new communication skills with real-life timing easier, since people can apply tools between meetings and bring those experiences back to therapy for review.
