How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online

Kristin often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses clear, practical steps to change patterns that fuel anxiety and stress. EMDR focuses on reducing distress linked to traumatic memories through a structured processing approach. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and deeper trauma processing options depending on what a person needs. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristin works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and comfort level. She moves at each person’s pace and adjusts techniques as progress is made. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations within Tennessee. It can also make some check-ins shorter when needed, or allow for a full therapeutic session when that works best.
