Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time so that therapy evolves with the client’s progress and priorities.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility by making it possible to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, support continuity during life transitions, and make it easier to receive care from home or another convenient setting. Christina uses these modalities to provide consistent support and practical tools that clients can apply between sessions.
