Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is often applied for depression, anxiety, and sleep concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can support those struggling with intense emotions or patterns of self-harm and relationship instability.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts course as progress unfolds so the plan remains client-centered.
Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility and access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals without geographic barriers.
