Background and approach
Christina has worked across geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings, and holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative/end-of-life care. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program at Kutztown and Millersville Universities. In sessions she draws on several practical approaches to help people make changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and habits that get in the way. Mindfulness practices can reduce rumination and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to find their own reasons to change.

How Christina Uses Talk Therapy Approaches Online
Christina often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the habits that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. Mindfulness Therapy is another common tool she uses to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judging them; this can ease rumination and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own goals and find motivation for change when they feel stuck.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes sessions feel more tailored and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let people work face-to-face when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is better. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or those who prefer writing their thoughts. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.
