Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping for issues like depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping individuals feel heard and supported as they explore goals and solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location, while preserving the collaborative and skill-based focus of Christina's practice.
