Kirstie has five years of experience in clinical social work in Missouri. She supports people dealing with issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Isolation and loneliness are part of her focus areas, and she helps people find connection and coping strategies.

She also addresses concerns around body image, forgiveness, control issues, divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth, money and financial stress, and life purpose. Work in sessions ranges from short-term coping strategies to longer conversations about values and goals.

Sessions are offered in English. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and clients are matched through a short questionnaire before scheduling. Prospective clients should follow the Start Therapy process to begin a match.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical steps and small experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Motivational interviewing is another common approach. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people discover their own reasons for change and build the motivation to act. This method can be helpful for issues like impulsivity, financial stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Licensed professionals can use online work to support continued progress between appointments while tailoring pace and techniques to each person.
