Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her work often emphasizes improving communication and coping with caregiver stress. She also supports people navigating divorce or separation and women facing life transitions.
Christan draws on cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals. Narrative and client-centered approaches shape how she listens and responds. Those methods help people reframe difficult stories and feel heard during painful moments like grief.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change but feels stuck; it helps clarify motivation and next steps. Christan practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping and make steady progress toward clearer goals.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it is useful for dealing with grief, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety and teaches concrete skills to test and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative stance makes it easier to pick techniques that feel realistic and useful in everyday life.
Online sessions come in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. Video is good for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are convenient when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
