Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Christina commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills to change thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related focus struggles. Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to slow down and notice thoughts and sensations without reacting, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when problems involve strong emotions or impulsive behaviors. DBT supplies concrete strategies for coping with intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Christina will work collaboratively to figure out which approaches best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed method up front.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation when they prefer it. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still working toward meaningful changes.
