Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering tools to reduce reactivity and improve focus and self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and ongoing care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
