How Kristin uses CBT and EMDR in remote sessions
Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include identifying specific thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses that fit daily life.She also lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which focuses on processing distressing memories and the feelings they bring up. EMDR work typically involves guided attention exercises alongside discussion to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will discuss goals, preferences, and how a method feels before using it. She adjusts plans as work progresses so the techniques match what the client needs and is ready for.
