She aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable next step for someone who is already trying to change. Kierstin uses several approaches to help people find what works for them.
How Kierstin works
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small actions toward those values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Client-centered principles shape sessions so people feel heard and respected.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and caregiver stress, and other life transitions. Kierstin helps people break big problems into small, doable steps.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Kierstin often blends skills practice with open conversation so clients can try things between visits. She pays attention to daily challenges and looks for ways to reduce overwhelm.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Kierstin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can lead the pace and content of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kierstin will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines approaches when that best fits a person's situation and checks in regularly to adjust the plan. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, allow calmer check-ins during work breaks, or reduce the need to be on camera when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep progress steady while people handle daily responsibilities.Start online instead of waiting
