Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christi integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy along with Client-Centered Therapy into her approach. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can support work on relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental support from the therapist to promote self-exploration and personal growth, which can help with self-esteem, coping with life transitions, and grief.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Christi works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape treatment plans and the tools that will be most useful for each individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering greater flexibility for scheduling and ongoing contact. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue therapy when in-person sessions are difficult, while still focusing on meaningful progress and practical coping strategies.
