Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience, then following your goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort thoughts and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep difficulties.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity to stress and improve focus. These techniques pair well with both conversation and short, guided exercises during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video lets you practice skills together and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments, offering flexibility for busy schedules.
