Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel stuck with change, while solution-focused steps aim to create small, steady progress. Her background includes five years of clinical practice in community and outpatient settings. That experience shaped a calm, direct style that holds space for grief, stress, and struggles with substance use.
She also helps people tackle issues like codependency, body image, and communication breakdowns. Sessions typically focus on practical skills and real-life changes. Conversations look at what feels most urgent and what small steps are realistic each week.
Christina pays attention to patterns such as impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and control struggles, and she works with clients to build clearer choices. Christina aims to support each person in finding a clearer sense of purpose and steadier mood. She helps people reconnect to their values and map out actions that fit their life.
Her approach is collaborative, straightforward, and paced to individual needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what matters most so clients can name feelings and priorities. This approach helps with grief, loneliness, and struggles around self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions break problems into manageable parts and try small experiments to change unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that lead to impulsive choices.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, past attempts at change, and personal preferences. Together they adapt methods over time to fit what is working and what feels realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief exchanges, progress notes, or step-by-step coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
