Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action based on what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying values and building committed steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood disorders, and managing day-to-day stressors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support recovery from trauma and help with mood and impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That plan can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter, more frequent check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or family demands while keeping the focus on practical progress.
