Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and issues that arise during divorce or blended family transitions. Her style is client-centered and solution-focused. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
She uses mindfulness practices to help people calm racing thoughts and build steady routines. Christianna explains ideas in everyday language and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She believes clear steps and small goals build confidence over time.
The tone in sessions is respectful, warm, and straightforward. She offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on the therapist’s availability.
Approaches for online therapy and what they do
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from the person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and guides the session at a pace that fits their needs. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and racing thoughts. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals to create change quickly, often helpful for life transitions, workplace issues, and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. Together they will adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, send brief updates, and get shorter, focused support when a full session is not needed. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, parenting duties, or other commitments.
