Evidence-based tools, delivered online

Kristy Groves draws from approaches that help clients build practical skills while staying connected to what matters most to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personal values, which can be useful when anxiety, low mood, or life stress keeps pulling attention off track.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice new responses that better support daily functioning. It is often used for concerns like stress, depression, and worry. Kristy also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies that build awareness and grounding, helping clients relate to emotions with more steadiness instead of feeling overwhelmed by them.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kristy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the approach over time based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to get support within a busy schedule, continue work between sessions, and access therapy from wherever is most convenient.
