She blends these methods to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice new behaviors. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal oriented, with concrete skills to try between meetings.
People also turn to her for help with addictions, mood disorders, eating concerns, anger, and career stress. She will tailor pace and focus to what feels most useful for the person in front of her. Kristie supports exploration of feelings like guilt, shame, abandonment, and jealousy while keeping practical steps in view.
To begin, Kristie asks about current struggles and what someone hopes to change. From there she helps set short-term goals and realistic next steps. Her approach is steady and straightforward, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
Approaches that guide online work and goals
Kristie draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward the life they want, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristie will talk with each person about their hopes and needs, then try strategies together to see what fits best. She adjusts methods over time so the plan stays practical and aligned with personal goals.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. Some people prefer shorter, more frequent meetings when juggling work or family, while others use sessions for focused skill practice and planning between meetings.
