Approaches that guide online care with Krista Croyle

Krista uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s priorities and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, listening, and collaboration to help clients explore values, improve self-awareness, and build trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related patterns by developing new coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change, especially in the context of substance use and addictive behaviors. It uses reflective conversation to strengthen motivation and clarify personal goals so clients can move toward change at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Krista works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists may also provide live chat or text-based messaging options. These formats make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from a distance.
