Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Kristin Fahey integrates approaches that translate well to remote work, beginning with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people clarify their values and learn practical strategies to reduce struggle with unwanted thoughts and emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another cornerstone of her work - it focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression or anxiety and teaches skills to change those patterns for more effective coping. Kristin also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristin will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different models and adjusting over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kristin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and fit therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional experienced in addressing relationship, mood, and identity-related concerns.
