The ICC Approach
Kristin is a seasoned therapist, dedicated to helping her clients heal and thrive within the parameters of their core values. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), both of which are evidence-based approaches that help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, health worries, grief, coping and more. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, while ACT promotes resiliency to difficult emotions and encourages values-based action. Both therapies have been proven to be effective in improving mental health and overall well-being.
