How her approaches translate to online work
Tristine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking committed action toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and habits that fuel anxiety or low mood.She sees finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions are used to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to share preferences so the methods match their daily life and needs.
