How her approaches fit into online work
Kierstin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps that matter to them. ACT focuses on values-based action and practical exercises to reduce the hold of anxious or painful thoughts.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that can lower anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions often include specific practice tasks to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kierstin will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. She treats the choice as collaborative and will adjust methods based on what the client reports back over time.
