Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. It starts with careful listening and follows the client’s pace, helping them name what matters and decide on next steps. This approach is useful for people feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by offering practical skills to try between sessions.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on concrete changes and on what’s already working, so progress can happen quickly. This method suits people who want clear steps and faster movement toward specific life or career goals.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, manage childcare, or keep regular contact while traveling.
