About Kristen
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts shape feelings and everyday habits. Kristen helps clients notice negative thinking, test those thoughts, and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include practical skills for stress reduction and ways to build better routines.
Kristen emphasizes small daily changes that add up over time. She encourages positive mantras and self-compassion while working on real-life goals like better sleep, clearer communication, or managing moods. The aim is to help people take an active role in their care and form healthier coping strategies.
In therapy she helps people learn boundary setting, identify shame or guilt that gets in the way, and develop better ways to assert needs. Mindfulness practices and noticing body sensations are used to increase tolerance for uncomfortable feelings. Kristen also supports people dealing with body image concerns, eating and food-related issues, chronic illness, and isolation.
Her schedule is shaped to fit stay-at-home parents, college students, and people who can use a lunch break or work from home. She welcomes international clients and holds sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

CBT involves tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing different responses to reduce stress and improve mood. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related routines.She also integrates mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help people tolerate uncomfortable feelings and pay attention to body sensations. These techniques can support work on grief, eating and body image concerns, and chronic illness by increasing moment-to-moment awareness and gentler self-talk.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. Together they experiment, adjust, and settle on skills that feel practical and sustainable.
