How therapy approaches translate to online work
Kristine draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in changing thoughts and daily habits. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday life.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people understand connection needs and learn different ways of relating to others. Together these methods give practical tools for thinking differently and acting in ways that fit daily routines and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as flexible and will adjust strategies as progress is made.
