Background and approach

Sessions tend to be action-oriented and geared toward everyday life changes. Her history includes work in community mental health, primary care settings, clinics, and court-related guardianship work. Christina has led psychoeducational groups on topics like trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

That range gives her experience with practical problem solving across different situations. She describes her approach as trauma-informed and strengths-based. In practice that means paying attention to how past hurt affects trust, relationships, and self-worth now.

Christina aims to help people recognize patterns, learn new ways to cope, and set reachable goals. Christina earned her master’s degree from the University of Southern California and holds a North Carolina LCSW license. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports people as they try new strategies and make gradual changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life. It can help when worry, low mood, or avoidance get in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It is useful for everyday problems like sleep trouble, panic, and negative self-talk. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect present patterns and can help improve trust, intimacy, and communication in current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those priorities. If one way isn’t helping, adjustments are made so sessions remain focused and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when scheduling allows. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging provide brief, ongoing support and let people use skills between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping treatment goal-oriented and skills-based.
