Evidence-based techniques for stress and anxiety

Kristy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety. She leans on approaches that teach practical skills for day-to-day coping, such as learning ways to interrupt anxious thoughts and gradually face troubling situations. These methods are often useful for panic, chronic worry, and stress related to life changes.

She also helps people dealing with addictions and trauma by focusing on building routines and coping strategies that limit triggers and improve stability. For grief and depression she supports paced steps toward re-engaging with meaningful activities and self-care. Each approach is presented in plain terms and tied to concrete actions the person can take between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristy works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans if something doesn't fit or isn't helping.
