Approaches used for online sessions and what they do
Christina uses client-centered work to start from each person’s priorities and build sessions around what matters most. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s goals shape the work.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood over time.
Mindfulness techniques are used to notice bodily cues and emotional reactions in the moment. These practices teach simple ways to slow down a rise in anger or anxiety so someone can choose a different response.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to pick methods that fit a person’s goals, preferences, and daily routine. She checks progress and adjusts plans as needed rather than sticking to a fixed script.
