Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online care

Kristen Wright uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core parts of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience with empathy and respect, helping individuals explore feelings, identify personal strengths, and make choices that align with their values. This approach is helpful for people seeking support with self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns.

CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical skills to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management, offering structured tools to change unhelpful habits and improve daily functioning. Together these approaches allow for both empathic exploration and concrete skill building.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kristen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Kristen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that make it easier to schedule care, maintain continuity, and access support from wherever a client is located in California.
