How Christina’s Approaches Work Online

Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete changes in behavior. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by focusing on skills and practice.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions start from the person’s own goals and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and shaping the work around what matters most to the client. Existential ideas are used as well to help people reflect on meaning, choices, and values during life transitions or times of loss.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christina works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape clear, practical goals for sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone appointments are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, and written reflections between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access consistent care despite busy lives.
