How Christina works
She aims to be straightforward and compassionate in every conversation. Her work combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, picking tools that fit the issue at hand. That can mean talking through habits and thoughts or practicing small behavior changes between sessions.
The focus is on clear steps people can try in daily life to feel steadier and more able to cope. Christina has worked for two decades with adults facing mood disorders, workplace stress, caregiver strain, isolation, and women's issues. She also addresses aging and geriatric questions, communication problems, paranoia-related concerns, and other mood-related challenges.
Her clinical background gives her a broad perspective while keeping the work practical. People who choose her often want an ally who listens, helps them set manageable goals, and teaches skills to handle tough moments.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christina uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify what matters most so they can set realistic goals and make steady changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. That can involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood swings.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christina works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
