How Christina works
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and narrative therapy to help people make sense of their stories. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer choices. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing also inform her work when appropriate.
Christina addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on topics such as attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and divorce and separation. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions are provided in English for people located in Louisiana. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to her practice and scheduling is arranged afterward.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Sessions emphasize empathy and reflection so the client guides what to work on and when. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with practical skills for managing mood and anxiety. It is useful for stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods fit best. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and flexibility for people with busy schedules. These formats help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
