Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kristine Edstrom

Kristine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathic space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people feel heard and valued as they explore goals and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and life demands. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support in ways that fit a client's daily routine.
