Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people address abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship conflicts by exploring relational needs and building healthier ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to strengthen self-awareness and self-esteem. This approach can be especially helpful for people navigating life changes, confidence issues, and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with addictions by teaching skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor techniques that fit their situation. That partnership helps determine whether attachment work, client-centered exploration, CBT strategies, or a combination will be most useful.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options support continuity of care, offer multiple ways to communicate, and can make regular work with a licensed professional more accessible for different lifestyles and schedules.
