Evidence-based support, delivered online with flexibility

Kristy Hemmele, LCPC, draws from several well-established approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practicing practical strategies that can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns that show up in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be a fit for people navigating grief, life transitions, or ongoing anxiety, especially when the goal is to build psychological flexibility and move forward in values-based ways.

Mindfulness Therapy supports skills for grounding, attention, and emotional regulation, which can be useful when someone feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles of worry and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristy collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit their situation, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that matches real life. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering options for scheduling, comfort level, and accessibility.
