Online support

How Kristine blends emotionally focused work with online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and working with strong feelings to change patterns that cause distress. It helps when people feel stuck in cycles of avoidance, disconnection, or repeating painful relationship behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward chosen values and goals. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living fully. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions, and it helps people shift patterns that undermine safety and trust.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kristine will help clients try approaches and adjust them to match personal needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set small goals, notice what helps, and change course as needed so the work fits each person's life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and shorter updates. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy life.
