How her approaches translate to online care
Kristi uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and using short exercises between meetings to track progress. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical tools for handling intense emotions and improving communication under stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods suit you. That collaborative planning can adjust as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like CBT homework or DBT skills practice to remote appointments so therapy fits everyday life without forcing changes to a routine.Areas of expertise
