Background and approach
Kristy listens for what matters to each person and helps prioritize what to work on first. Her background includes long-term clinical work with people facing substance use challenges and mood concerns. That experience shaped an approach centered on clear strategies and steady support.
She values collaboration and makes room for the client’s story in every plan.

Practical approaches for online healing
Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steady progress. One common approach she draws on emphasizes teaching coping strategies for anxiety and stress - clients learn simple grounding breaths, thought-challenging steps, and short routines to reduce daily symptoms. Another approach centers on processing trauma and loss by helping people tell their story at a manageable pace while building safety and stabilization skills for day-to-day life.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Kristy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working or when new priorities emerge.
Online therapy sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
