Background and approach
Christina uses clear strategies to help people manage intense feelings and reduce anxious thinking. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. That means conversations center on the person's priorities while also identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing present-moment skills.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to set realistic goals and build momentum. Christina helps people learn concrete skills for emotion regulation, stress reduction, and improved communication. She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, family of origin, codependency, and body image when those topics are present.
Sessions are offered remotely to people in Illinois by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Christina uses a subscription-based model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects their experience, and helps them name what matters most so change can feel achievable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. That might mean combining client-centered talk with CBT exercises and brief goal-setting so progress is practical and measurable.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to people in Illinois. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break in a busy day or work with low bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when written communication feels easier. These options give flexibility to match therapy to everyday life and scheduling needs.
