How Christina's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through identity concerns, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Christina discusses goals and preferences and adjusts the approach based on what helps most. That collaborative process can include short-term skill building or deeper reflection, depending on the person's situation and aims.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for more interactive conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow quick access between calls and can help people share thoughts in the moment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats until one feels right.
