How CBT and Mindfulness shape online therapy
Krista uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small, practical changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and for managing unhelpful patterns in relationships.She also incorporates mindfulness practices that teach simple ways to slow down, notice sensations and thoughts, and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can support stress management, grief work, and emotional regulation when paired with other strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Conversations and small experiments guide decisions about the methods used.
