Background and approach
Her work includes attention to attachment issues, body image, and codependency patterns. Christi draws on several approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thought patterns that keep problems going. She also brings attachment-focused ideas and client-centered listening to build trust and repair relationships. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to each person.
Christi listens closely, helps set doable goals, and teaches skills people can use between sessions. She avoids labels and centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting. Christi encourages anyone ready to make a change to reach out.
She aims to empower people to take steps toward steadier moods, clearer relationships, and better daily functioning. Small changes over time are the goal.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on practical steps rather than getting stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and offers straightforward tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed depression or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can mix techniques so people get tools that match what they're trying to change and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, manage appointments from different locations within Ohio, and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
