Background and approach
Over nine years she has worked in a variety of settings, including residential care and correctional facilities. Those roles shaped her interest in helping people facing trauma, depression, ADHD, and the challenges of chronic illness or pain. She adapts what she does to each person’s situation rather than using a single method for everyone.
In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and social phobia. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, isolation, communication struggles, and issues related to chronic health conditions. Christina emphasizes collaborative planning.
She invites clients to set goals and to try practical skills between sessions. Her aim is to help people build clearer choices and steadier routines that fit their lives.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Christina uses well-known, evidence-based techniques in ways that translate to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which helps with impulsivity and intense emotions. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral techniques help people process distressing experiences and develop coping strategies for triggers.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina starts by listening to goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what fits a person’s life and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, and more flexible timing during a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy aligned with work, caregiving, and other commitments.
