Approach and online options for therapy
Christina frequently blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy means the person’s goals guide the session and the therapist listens without judgment. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills can help people manage intense moods, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve communication in stressful moments. The therapist will discuss which methods fit best and adapt them to each person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina works with each person to set goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She aims to teach practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from any location with decent bandwidth. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer a way to share thoughts in writing and fit support into a busy day. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
