She places importance on building strong rapport and a collaborative working relationship so clients can face problems, pursue goals, and find balance among the many roles they hold in life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Krista integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationships, and coping under pressure. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and supports healing in areas like intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krista works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or school commitments and allow people to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations. For many clients, remote sessions provide continuity and accessibility while retaining the collaborative, goal-focused work of therapy.
