Approaches and online care that fit your life
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building coping skills and reducing distress. One approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic - learning short grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and ways to interrupt anxious patterns so moments of panic become more manageable. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe, while strengthening self-care and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christi will discuss options with clients, try methods that match their goals, and adjust as needed. This collaborative method helps identify what feels useful and what should change over time.
Online therapy with Christi is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for brief touchpoints, notes between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit care into busy schedules and daily life.
