How different approaches can guide online work

Kristine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small actions that build a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experience while committing to behavior that matches what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT focuses on practical skills such as changing unhelpful thinking, building routines, and testing new behaviors to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristine will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend tools and strategies that fit those aims. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when needed. Some formats work better for focused skill practice or shorter check-ins, while others suit longer, emotion-focused conversations; Kristine will help match session style to your goals.
