04Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Kristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck because it focuses on action in line with personal values.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why certain reactions to closeness or conflict keep repeating and guides practical shifts in how they relate to others.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kristine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT with attachment work or adding cognitive-behavioral skills for specific problems. The plan can change as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, and more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when schedules or locations change.
