Background and approach

She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Kristi also includes elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice feelings without judgment.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one approach she offers for processing trauma-related memories. Her sessions are collaborative and tailored. Clients can expect a plan that focuses on immediate coping skills and longer-term goals.

Kristi encourages booking a live session by video, phone, or chat so she can give focused attention. She works with a wide range of life challenges including grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career concerns, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Her style avoids labels and centers respect and sensitivity as clients work toward clearer routines and stronger coping.

Kristi aims to be flexible about scheduling and messaging. She supports clients who want practical tools, honest conversation, and steady encouragement through change.

How Kristi’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities, then shaping conversations around what matters most to you. This helps people find clearer goals and feel heard during online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. It translates well to video or messaging because homework and skill practice can be shared between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those tools can be taught in short lessons and practiced during phone or chat check-ins to build steady progress. Kristi will work with each person to choose which approaches feel most useful and will adjust methods over time so the plan matches goals and preferences. Finding the right fit is a cooperative process that unfolds across the first few sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video best matches an in-person conversation when you want face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be better for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to connect in brief moments during a busy day or to keep a running thread of support between live meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while using the approaches that work for each person.
