Online support

Online approaches for trauma, grief, and self-esteem

Krystle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on processing trauma and building self-compassion. One common approach helps people name and gently work through traumatic memories while building coping skills to reduce distress in daily life. This method is useful for post-traumatic stress and complex reactions after abuse.

Another approach centers on developing self-love and repairing harsh self-judgment. Sessions include exercises to notice critical self-talk, practice kinder internal responses, and try behavioral steps that reinforce new beliefs about worth. This work often supports people dealing with shame, guilt, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right method is collaborative. Krystle will talk with each person about goals, personal history, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress or needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let clients have a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when video isn’t possible, live chat can fit a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
