She brings seven years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on small steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Christianna draws on client-centered conversations, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. She has worked extensively with issues that follow life transitions, including divorce, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and career shifts. Grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns are also within her practice focus.
Parents who feel overwhelmed or people facing midlife questions often seek her perspective and practical guidance. Christianna emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress.
Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. For those new to therapy, she aims to make the first steps less intimidating. Christianna offers multiple ways to connect, including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their routine.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you clarify goals so conversations feel relevant to your daily life.Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties by training awareness of thoughts and impulses.
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions often identify strengths and past successes, then build short-term actions that fit your routine and situation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments can be made as you try different strategies together.
Online therapy offers flexibility: video calls for fuller conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while keeping work focused on practical progress.
