About Christina
Christina Bachenberg is a Maryland licensed clinician with 12 years of counseling experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. Her approach is grounded in respect and a straightforward, compassionate style.
Christina focuses on practical, short-term goals along with deeper emotional work. She listens first and then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s situation. Sessions aim to build skills for managing panic, social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors while also addressing shame, guilt, and body-image concerns.
Background and approach
Her work often includes looking at how thoughts and behaviors connect, and how emotions show up in relationships and daily life. Christina uses a mix of evidence-based tools and client-centered conversation to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws on motivational strategies to strengthen commitment to change.
People meet with her to sort through communication problems, control issues, impulses, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She supports those dealing with family stress or transitions, always tailoring sessions to the person’s priorities. Christina aims to make therapy an active, collaborative process so progress is practical and visible.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages small experiments between sessions and uses clear language to track progress. Christina wants clients to leave sessions with something useful to try that week.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's needs, helping people feel heard and guiding sessions at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, and compulsions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotional patterns and how those feelings affect relationships and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to combine listening, practical skill-building, and emotional work based on their goals and preferences. She helps clients try methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines while using the approaches above in a practical way.
