Christina approaches therapy from a perspective that honors each person as the expert on their own life. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and resources, and collaborates with them to address obstacles that interfere with well-being. Her style is grounded in respect for a person's story and a focus on achievable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christina Reed integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with a client-centered stance, to tailor care to each person's needs. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and panic symptoms. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering empathy and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and decision making.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Christina and other licensed professionals typically explore goals, preferences, and the specific challenges presented, then collaborate with clients to select or combine techniques that fit best. This process is flexible and adjusts over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy schedules or living at a distance. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can connect with a therapist in ways that suit their routine and comfort level. The range of options supports ongoing treatment, timely check-ins, and access to consistent care without requiring travel.
