Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's experience, listening deeply and shaping sessions around the client's own goals and values. This approach helps people who need acceptance, validation, and a collaborative path forward.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching coping skills and problem-solving strategies.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are incorporated when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility for how and when care happens. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain momentum and access consistent support.
