How CBT and EMDR Shape Online Work

Kristin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, practical behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear tools and short exercises clients can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or shift low mood.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories affect daily life. EMDR involves processing distressing memories in a structured way so they become less disruptive and better integrated into a person’s story.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kristin discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques based on what feels most helpful. She works collaboratively so clients understand why a method is chosen and how progress will be tracked.
