Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Kirsten King draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personal values. This approach can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by intense emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when relationships feel strained or emotions feel hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kirsten works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing connection. Clients can meet with Kirsten through video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added accessibility between sessions or when scheduling is tight.
