How Christi works
Christi values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. Her background includes long experience as a social worker and more recent focused clinical practice. That mix brings practical problem-solving and clinical knowledge to the work.
She draws on proven techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and depression while also attending to life stressors like work and parenting. Christi works with concerns such as adoption and foster care challenges, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She helps people navigate parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
When someone begins, Christi tailors the conversation and treatment plan to the individual. She supports clients in trying small changes, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed. Taking the first step can be hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to get started.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on helping people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through step-by-step exercises and short home practice. Another approach addresses trauma by working at a pace the person can tolerate while teaching coping tools for strong emotions and intrusive memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and daily routines, then suggest techniques that fit. Clients and the therapist collaborate to try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers a range of formats that make care easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or quick reflections between scheduled meetings. These options give flexibility for different needs, schedules, and comfort levels.
