Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina Miller uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify goals and develop practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people reframe unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. The Gottman Method is a research-informed approach for couples that emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust to strengthen relationships. Internal Family Systems works with the idea that different parts of a person hold conflicting feelings or goals; by gently exploring those parts, clients can reduce internal conflict and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina collaborates with each person to determine what will be most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will tailor techniques and priorities so therapy fits the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, enabling work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, allow continuity of care across locations, and provide multiple ways to engage so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
