Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christi draws from client-centered therapy to place the person and their experience at the center of care, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping habits, offering practical tools for symptom reduction and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christi works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure treatment stays relevant and responsive.

Online sessions via video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support from licensed professionals. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage in therapy in the way that feels most practical and effective for them.
