How Christa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping the therapist understand priorities and pace. Online sessions let the conversation shape goals and timing without a fixed script.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. Delivered by video, phone, or messaging, CBT techniques translate into homework, short experiments, and check-ins between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations compact and goal directed, moving quickly toward practical steps that can be tried right away. This approach works well in brief video or phone sessions and in focused text exchanges for quick planning.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then shape a plan together. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what fits best.
Online formats offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, problem-solving on the go, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
