Kristen uses a person-centered approach that focuses on the client's perspective. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness tools are used to build awareness and calm during tense moments.
She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can take between meetings to manage anger and stress, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem. Kristen describes her clinical style as upbeat and supportive while willing to address problems directly.
Her background across different settings informs how she adapts sessions. She aims to consider cultural identity and lifestyle when planning treatment. People who want concrete skills for handling frustration, managing impulses, and repairing strained relationships may find this approach helpful.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Kristen commonly integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience and priorities, helping them describe what matters most and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process helps shape short-term steps and measurable goals so progress can be tracked session to session.
