How Kristin Uses CBT and EMDR Online

Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing upsetting memories and reducing their emotional charge, which can help with post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend a plan that fits. She combines practical skills with trauma-focused work when that seems appropriate, and she checks in regularly to adjust the approach.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Kristin is seeing clients at the moment. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets sessions be shorter or scheduled outside typical office hours when that helps, and it can reduce time lost to commuting so people can focus on steady progress toward their goals.
