Client-centered and skills-based therapy online

Client-centered therapy begins by listening to the client's goals and strengths. It focuses on building a trusting relationship so the person feels understood and can lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more useful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships through concrete skills practice, which can help with mood instability, impulsivity, and strong emotions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Christina works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts sessions over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the plan stays practical and focused on progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or busy days while keeping the focus on skill building and steady improvement.
