Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for issues like depression, anxiety, and motivation related to recovery from substance use. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; it can help clients who struggle with trust, relationship conflict, or the aftereffects of trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, making it a practical option for mood disorders, anger, and many anxiety-related concerns.

Krystle works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best. She considers a client’s goals, life circumstances, and preferences when suggesting strategies, and adapts methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Krystle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and continue work on coping skills and goals from wherever the client is located within Michigan.
