About Krista
She works with individuals facing social anxiety, mood disorders such as bipolar, postpartum depression, and the practical and emotional strains of major life transitions. Her work also includes ADHD, parenting concerns, caregiver stress, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse, with attention to issues like guilt, shame, self-harm, and rebuilding self-love and life purpose. Krista draws from evidence-based techniques to help clients develop coping strategies and address underlying emotional patterns.
Krista emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered approach that meets each client where they are. She aims to help people strengthen resilience, form more authentic connections with themselves and others, and make steady, practical progress toward the goals they identify.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, combines practical skills training with mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. This approach can be especially useful for those dealing with mood disorders, self-harm urges, and difficulty tolerating distress. Trauma-informed care focuses on recognizing the effects of past trauma and creating a supportive therapeutic pace that reduces retraumatization while building safety and coping skills; it is helpful for survivors of sexual assault and other abuses.
Krista also incorporates a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to issues like ADHD, parenting stress, and life transitions, emphasizing strategies that address specific symptoms and daily functioning. Finding the right fit is part of the process - Krista works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy can feel practical and relevant.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing caregiving, work, or recovery. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular support from licensed professionals, and try different formats to see what works best for each individual.
