Christina helps people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and long-term health or caregiving challenges. She also supports those managing ADHD, self-esteem issues, body image concerns, and life transitions like illness or loss.

Her way of working is straightforward and steady. Clients can expect clear options, gentle challenge when needed, and practical tools to try at home. Christina aims to make therapy fit daily life and real-world demands.

How her approaches translate to online care

Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on actions that match personal values; it can help with grief, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior and gives concrete exercises to change patterns that increase stress or depression.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit their situation. She adjusts the plan as progress is seen and as challenges change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
