She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Kristy keeps sessions direct and informal. She creates a calm space where people can talk frankly about what’s worrying them.

She listens first, then helps clients set small, clear goals they can work on between sessions.

Background and approach

Her approach blends several proven methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Client-centered work and motivational interviewing help people find their own reasons and energy for change. Kristy also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and increase present-moment focus. She draws on experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and forgiveness work.

Her practice is practical and task-oriented while still being warm and validating. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit a range of needs. She supports people wanting help with communication problems, infidelity, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and related concerns.

Online support

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to help them discover their own answers; this approach is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings about relationships or parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful for people dealing with conflict, impulsive reactions, or overwhelming stress.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest approaches to try. Together they track progress and adjust methods so work stays practical and focused on the client's priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates or questions between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep up with sessions while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
