Background and approach
Christina listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse and addressing family-related concerns. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family stress, and problems tied to chronic illness or pain.
Christina brings steady guidance when relationships or life transitions feel overwhelming. Christina uses methods that help change unhelpful thoughts, regulate intense emotions, and practice being present. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness strategies to teach tools that can be used between sessions.
The focus is on what works in everyday life, not on labels. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Christina supports people taking small steps toward clearer thinking, stronger boundaries, and more satisfying routines.
She encourages people to move at a pace that feels safe while keeping attention on practical progress.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. It teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address addictive behaviors. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus and calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less data. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
