How Christina's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people identify their own solutions. This style helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of confusing feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different tools and adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make repeated skill practice more convenient. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt exercises and mindfulness practice to an online setting so sessions remain focused and useful.
