Background and approach
Her background includes a range of concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about plainly. Conversations focus on identifying patterns that cause worry or get in the way of daily life.
She uses practical tools to change unhelpful habits and build skills for handling stress. Christina draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors. She also incorporates dialectical behavior ideas to manage intense emotions and mindfulness practices to reduce rumination.
These approaches are presented as straightforward exercises you can try between sessions. People who reach out can expect a collaborative process. Christina works with each person to set achievable goals and track small wins.
The tone is supportive and focused on building useful skills for everyday life.
How Christina Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people see how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In simple steps she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking, test new responses, and build habits that reduce anxiety and stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These tools aim to reduce intensity during overwhelming moments and offer clear ways to cope with strong feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made based on what is most helpful for you. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use techniques where and when they are needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to each format so progress can continue across different ways of meeting.Questions people ask
