Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is an approach Christina uses that prioritizes the client’s own experience and goals; it focuses on active listening, empathy, and helping individuals discover their own strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy introduces practices that bring present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may draw on multiple techniques used by licensed professionals and therapists to tailor care over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Christina provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. These options aim to increase accessibility so clients can engage in therapy in a way that fits their life and therapeutic goals.
