About Christina

Her approach centers on listening, exploring what matters to each person, and finding small steps that lead to change.
Christina draws on seven years of professional experience to guide people through a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
She helps with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, and problems tied to family of origin. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image worries, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Sessions involve clear collaboration on goals and straightforward strategies you can try between meetings.
She supports people working through divorce, separation, communication problems, jealousy, and control issues. Forgiveness and questions about life purpose are also areas she helps explore. Christina offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She works in English and practices under the New Jersey LCSW credential. Practical matters like scheduling and cost are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For a first step, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
Christina focuses on steady, achievable progress so people can feel more in charge of their daily lives.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach she uses involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work teaches simple tools that can be practiced between sessions to change daily routines and reactions.Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This helps people see how past experiences shape current trust, closeness, and communication. It offers step-by-step ways to try different responses in relationships and repair communication when things feel stuck.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will decide which techniques to try first. She adjusts the plan as you progress so the work matches what feels most helpful and realistic.
Online therapy allows visits by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are handy for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you process. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
