How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christina uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral methods and Narrative approaches. Cognitive Behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of responding. This can help with anxiety, mood management, and workplace stress. Narrative approaches invite clients to tell and reshape their personal stories, which can be useful for grief, identity questions, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routines. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also makes follow-up check-ins and skill practice simpler to maintain between appointments.
