Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused work are used to set achievable goals and keep progress moving forward.

Christina also supports people dealing with grief, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with substance use.
She helps clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding to stress. Sessions typically include clear, simple tools to practice between meetings. Christina encourages small experiments and concrete plans rather than long theoretical discussions.
The aim is to make change feel manageable and realistic. She brings five years of clinical experience in Oklahoma and holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker. Christina conducts sessions in English and uses a collaborative, respectful style.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. In practice that means sessions begin with open questions and reflective listening so the therapist can follow what matters most to the client. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to clarify values, emotions, or what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions often include worksheets, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and for learning practical coping skills.
Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something isn't working, she adjusts the plan together with the person rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay consistent with care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support short check-ins, progress updates, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work breaks, travel days, or a busy routine.
