Online support
Practical therapies for online care
Kristina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive and offers practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are useful when feelings escalate or relationships become strained.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Kristina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay focused and useful rather than fixed to a single method.
Online therapy with Kristina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady support.
