How her approaches translate to online sessions
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or hinder change, which helps with worry, low mood, and anger that builds from unhelpful thinking. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in heated moments.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christina will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is about learning practical tools together and checking progress over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into work or family routines easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use audio-only if they prefer less bandwidth or a quicker session. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to plan sessions that fit daily life.
