Krista also brings experience with money and financial stress, divorce and separation, and issues that affect veterans and armed forces families.

How Krista’s Approaches Work Online

Krista commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s priorities and building sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to change patterns that cause stress or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krista will discuss options with clients and together decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape a clear plan with measurable steps and regular review.

Online therapy with Krista uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines and to continue work between meetings. The variety of options helps people choose what feels most usable for their lives.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
