How Krissel’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. In sessions clients learn practical exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or jealousy and then try them between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and ways to slow down strong emotions. Learning short breathing or awareness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance during stressful moments.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins. Some approaches translate well to shorter focused sessions or to work that includes homework between meetings. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so sessions fit your routine and goals.
