Evidence-based approaches and online care
Kristin uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain problems. This approach is often useful for depression, anger, and low self esteem because it focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions.She also draws on solution-focused methods that concentrate on small, achievable goals. Those techniques help when someone wants quick, directed changes for communication problems or caregiver stress by emphasizing what works and building on it.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online care offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when bandwidth and a quieter space are available.

These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
