Background and approach
Kristen emphasizes a collaborative pace so people can try things that fit their life. Kristen draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how past and current relationships shape feelings of safety and connection. She also uses acceptance and commitment methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to build treatment that fits each person.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills can be added when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed. Her approach balances conversation with concrete tools. People can expect clear feedback, goal-setting, and practice exercises they can use between sessions.
Kristen frames therapy as a partnership where progress comes from small, steady steps. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. Kristen has nine years of professional experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns and life stages.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based approaches online
Kristen integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotion and behavior. Attachment-based work focuses on understanding patterns of connection and improving how people feel safe and understood in their relationships, which can help with intimacy, trust, and loneliness.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that fit their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it blends acceptance with practical behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new coping strategies for mood, sleep, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kristen will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat supports brief check-ins and ongoing skills practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
