How CBT and Attachment Work Online

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and short homework tasks that clients can try between meetings to build new habits.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to address how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust. This approach looks at how clients relate to others and practices new ways of communicating and repairing ruptures.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.

Online therapy lets people meet by video, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
