How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Kristin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine relational depth with practical strategies. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with new behaviors and skills that reduce anxiety and improve coping. This helps with stress, worry, and day-to-day management of mood.Another approach centers on strengthening relationships and attachment patterns through discussion and practice. It aims to improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and reduce the repetition of old hurts in adult relationships and caregiving roles.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will work with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and how to pace the work.
