How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Christina uses client-centered work to begin by listening deeply and understanding each person's goals. This approach emphasizes the person's own perspective and builds treatment around their priorities, which helps when addressing issues like self-esteem, grief, or relationship stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT helps people develop concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, addiction triggers, and mood shifts by testing new ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christina works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Decisions about techniques and pace are made together so the plan fits daily life and long-term aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill modeling, phone sessions fit low-bandwidth or hands-free moments, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
