How her approaches translate to online work
Tristine commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change everyday habits and manage difficult thoughts. ACT helps people accept hard feelings and focus on values-based action, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete steps to change routines and reduce symptoms.She also uses mindfulness exercises and somatic coping tools in session to teach quick skills that fit into daily life. Finding the right approach is a team effort - she will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find that online work makes it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, keeps check-ins brief when needed, and allows use of digital tools and apps between meetings. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to apply skills between sessions so therapy fits into a person's routine.
