Approach, methods, and online care
Christian often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so the client feels understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify thought patterns and try different behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT ideas are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs tools to manage strong reactions and improve communication. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; Christian works with each person to find methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or brief skills coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
