Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people who want a supportive environment to explore personal concerns and build self-directed change. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping skills. In addition, Christina employs motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversational style that helps people find internal motivation to change behaviors related to addiction, substance use, and other ambivalent challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts strategies based on progress and feedback to find the best fit.
Online therapy with Christina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage therapy around work or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while working with a licensed professional focused on practical, goal-oriented support.
