Her experience includes supporting people who feel empty, struggle with social anxiety, or are processing trauma.
She asks clients to be active partners in their care and to be willing to try strategies between sessions.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Kristen uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in straightforward ways. CBT means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific skills to change them; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, achievable goals and building on what already helps a person; this approach suits people who want practical steps and quick measurable changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist adjust techniques over time based on what is useful.
The biography does not list confirmed session formats and mentions a temporary video chat issue, so confirm which remote options are currently offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try therapy alongside caregiving, work, or other commitments.
