Background and approach
Christina pays attention to how day-to-day habits and thoughts keep problems going and looks for manageable changes that fit each person’s life.

The work often includes short exercises and concrete goals between meetings. Christina believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on the strengths people already have. She aims to create an open space where questions are welcomed and progress is measured in small, meaningful steps.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values; it often helps with anxiety, grief, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce panic, improve mood, and ease workplace stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christina will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust techniques over time so the work matches what you need and what feels helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, focused skill practice, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
