Background and approach
Christina uses straightforward tools to help clients cope better between sessions. Her work draws on several approaches. She uses client-centered listening to make sure each person feels heard.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help ground attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Christina also brings narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories from their past.
Motivational Interviewing supports moments when a client wants change but feels stuck. She tailors these methods to the needs and goals the client shares in session. Many people come for relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, career strain, trauma and abuse, or struggles with attention and self-worth.
Christina helps clients build realistic plans and small, achievable steps toward their goals. Her style is empathic, direct, and action-oriented, with a focus on what will help someone feel more steady day to day.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to notice and change thinking patterns that often fuel anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so each person gets what helps them most as they work toward specific changes.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual aids. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum while managing schedules.
