How his approaches translate to online work
Christian uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on the person’s goals and experiences. This approach centers on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters and decide next steps for change.He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and gives practical techniques to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed, such as managing strong anger or intense stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christian will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit. That plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone avoid being on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients practice skills between meetings and to keep progress moving when schedules are tight.
