She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Kristen uses clear, structured methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to set goals and test small changes. She offers individual and group formats and includes psychoeducation to explain why certain approaches are used.
Her background includes work with transient and immigrant populations and with members of the LGBTQA+ community. She has led groups that use mindfulness and grief-focused work for both adults and children. Her school counseling experience informs practical strategies for motivation and confidence.
Sessions often include teaching simple skills, practicing new responses, and checking what works in daily life. Kristen notes experience supporting people who have engaged in self-harm or suicidal ideation and integrates trauma-informed ideas into care when relevant.
She prefers brief, goal-oriented steps alongside client-centered listening. The first meetings typically clarify priorities and establish manageable tasks to try between sessions. Clients are encouraged to use the subscription model described by the service and to confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT and Practical Approaches Work Online
Kristen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, practicing skills, and reviewing what changed between appointments. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person’s priorities and experiences, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate, small steps that move a problem toward a workable solution and can be useful for motivation, confidence, and problem-solving.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress or obstacles emerge. That means sessions can shift from skill practice to brief problem-solving or to more exploratory conversation depending on what helps most.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try new skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between meetings.
