Online support options
Models used in online sessions and why they help
Christina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and to practice new, more balanced ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems that respond to skill practice.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life hard.
For couples or relationship work Christina integrates elements of the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and rebuild connection through structured exercises and guided conversations.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person's life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to add brief updates, share wins, or get support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
