How her approaches translate to online care

Christina works with a mix of approaches that adapt well to virtual sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. In an online session this means the conversation is guided by the client's priorities and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing practical changes. Online work can include talking through thought patterns and using exercises between sessions to test new behaviors.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, doable steps toward a clear goal. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete changes fast and prefers short-term, action-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining elements of these methods and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Christina's biography notes she only meets people through online counseling sites, so confirm which online session options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so more energy goes toward the work itself.
