How her approaches are used in online sessions
Kristi commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that match those values, which can help when family patterns or life transitions feel stuck. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings interfere with daily life. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as progress is made.
The original biography states Kristi offers video, phone, and text sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking so they match your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow for phone or text contacts when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. The focus remains on practical skill building and working through patterns that began in the family of origin.
