Background and approach
Her work often includes exploring how past trauma affects current reactions and learning concrete skills to reduce distress. She blends trauma-focused methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to address upsetting thoughts and repeated patterns. The aim is to help people feel more in control and less overwhelmed.
With 14 years of experience in California, Cristina brings a steady and straightforward style. She creates a collaborative space where clients set goals and try strategies between sessions. Progress is measured by practical changes clients notice at home, work, or in relationships.
Cristina offers session formats that fit different schedules and needs. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for them. The intake process begins with a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule sessions.
How her approaches work online and in session
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past hurt affects current reactions. It helps people process upsetting memories and reduce the ways those memories trigger strong emotions or avoidance. This approach can be useful for people coping with abuse, significant loss, or long-term stressful events.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety, and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and social fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristina collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what helps most in daily life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
