How Christina works
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps toward change. Christina draws on several approaches to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy helps people feel heard and understood.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches ways to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people in identifying and working through strong feelings. Many people come for help with panic, obsessive thoughts, body image, or social anxiety.
Others want tools to cope with guilt, impulsivity, or loneliness. Christina also supports people who are trying to find purpose or rebuild self-love after hard experiences. In sessions she aims to be practical and compassionate.
Conversations are focused, with steps you can try between meetings. Christina helps clients set clear goals and track progress over time.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs, helping people feel understood and respected while they talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and habits that keep stress and anxiety going and teaches practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong feelings so they can respond differently to upsetting situations.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try one method or combine techniques until they find what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue treatment from different locations.
