Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also guide work on values and meaningful goals.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection
Kristin often uses the Gottman Method to help people understand relationship patterns, improve communication, and reduce conflict. That approach focuses on clear skills for interacting with partners and repairing distance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common part of her work and helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She talks with each person about their goals and preferences and combines methods that fit those needs. Clients are invited to try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skill practice and detailed conversations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or emotional support. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief check-ins, homework feedback, or quick coping reminders between sessions. These options help therapy fit work, family, and daily routines while keeping the work practical and focused.
