Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina "Chrissy" Senior draws from client-centered therapy to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic space where the client's priorities guide the work - this approach helps people gain insight and feel heard while addressing issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing self-harming behaviors, which can be especially helpful for mood dysregulation and crisis situations. In addition, her solution-focused methods concentrate on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps to move clients toward concrete goals, making progress feel more immediate and manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor care to what will be most effective for the individual.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible support for a range of concerns while accommodating different schedules and communication styles.
