How her approaches guide online sessions
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice moment-to-moment thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and provide clearer thinking during stressful times. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying values and reasons for change, and it helps people strengthen their own motivation to take practical steps toward goals.Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Crystal will discuss which methods fit your situation and adapt them as goals become clearer. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to what you want to achieve.
