Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people managing intense emotions or relationship difficulties. In addition, a client-centered stance guides her interactions, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore goals and change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Christina is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or other convenient locations and allow ongoing work using the formats that fit a client’s life and communication style.
