Background and approach
He adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation. His approach is respectful and direct. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps.
He listens closely, identifies patterns that get in the way, and suggests actions people can try between meetings. People can expect a calm, matter-of-fact style that balances empathy with structure. Krigger encourages small, manageable changes and checks progress together.
He aims to help people feel more capable of handling daily stress and stronger in their relationships. Over two decades of practice inform his choices in the room. He frames work in plain language and avoids jargon.
The focus is on what the person wants to change and on workable strategies to get there.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Louis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving immediate problems and building longer-term coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes in daily life. This helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking big problems into manageable steps. Another approach emphasizes emotion-focused work where feelings are named, understood, and worked through to reduce their impact on relationships and self-worth. That method can help with grief, intimacy issues, anger, and trauma-related reactions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as progress is tracked. Louis tailors the plan to fit a person's needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typing. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
