Online support options
Practical approaches for online therapy
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She invites collaboration so sessions match what someone needs and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
