Therapeutic approaches available through online sessions

Krista commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people facing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist helps the client explore values, goals, and personal strengths to promote growth and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krista works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists, access consistent support during life transitions, and practice new skills between sessions.
