Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Christina also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help calm the mind and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck and need help finding internal reasons to change.
Together these approaches form a flexible toolkit tailored to each person's goals. She has experience supporting veterans and pays attention to the ways past experiences shape present struggles. Christina frames therapy as a collaborative process - she works with people to set realistic goals and track progress over time.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Christina focuses on skill building, small behavior changes, and clearer communication to make daily life feel more manageable. She encourages people to take steady steps toward the life they want.
How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Christina combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to online care. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well through structured video sessions and homework between meetings. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, and those skills can be practiced and reviewed during live sessions or via messaging.She also uses mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and ground attention in moments of stress. These practices are simple to introduce during a call and to practice on one’s own between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work - Christina partners with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a brief check-in fits a busy day. Chat and messaging are helpful for short updates, skill reminders, and ongoing support between full sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into everyday routines.
