About Krista
Her clinical style blends mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral techniques, family systems thinking, and positive behavioral supports. She uses collaborative goal setting, practical problem solving, and progress monitoring within a respectful, validating therapeutic relationship. Her manner is empathic, thoughtful, straightforward, and authentic, and she adapts interventions to each person’s needs and treatment goals while occasionally using light humor to ease the work.
Krista has helped people address immediate challenges and explore longer term personal growth by examining unhelpful patterns and learning simple strategies to support emotional wellbeing. Her practice emphasizes relationship as a pathway to deeper self-understanding and meaningful change.
Bringing CBT and Mindfulness to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. It focuses on practical skills and small, manageable changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity, improve sleep patterns, and support emotion regulation during life transitions and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Krista works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and concerns and together determine which combination of CBT, mindfulness, family-oriented strategies, or behavioral supports best fits their needs. The plan can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy delivered by licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversations, phone sessions provide a simple audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or for those who find written communication easier. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from many settings.
