How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kristen works from evidence-based techniques that focus on noticing thoughts and making practical changes. Cognitive-behavioral methods help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments to reduce anger, anxiety, or mood swings. This approach is useful for workplace frustration, rumination, and moment-to-moment emotional control.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns rooted in past relationships and childhood experiences. That work helps when recurring resentment or repeated conflicts keep showing up in close relationships. Combining these approaches lets clients address immediate problems while also understanding longer-term patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means building a plan together and adjusting it as progress is made.
