Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for stress, worry, and mood concerns.

She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT strategies can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so treatment reflects the client’s priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange, while still allowing meaningful connection with licensed professionals and therapists.
