Attachment, Narrative, and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Christina integrates attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative techniques to address relationship patterns, mood concerns, and life transitions in an accessible online format. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of connection and helps people develop more secure ways of relating and communicating; it is often useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Narrative Therapy helps individuals examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, allowing them to redefine problems and create more empowering personal narratives.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they tailor interventions and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access consistent therapy while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and allow therapists and clients to focus on meaningful change across contexts.
