Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina Stanley uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the person’s experiences and goals drive the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting self-discovery, which can be helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and emotional support.She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by building practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor methods and pace so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are not feasible.
