Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina McGuire integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their values and goals and is useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping skills work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and can help with attachment issues, couples work, and healing from relational trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She draws from multiple modalities to prioritize practical strategies and relational change that feel most useful to each individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to attend sessions from home, work, or while traveling. These options support continuity of care and make consistent progress more attainable for people balancing busy lives.
