About Christina
Christina uses a client-centered approach that keeps the client's goals in focus. She combines practical skills with compassionate listening so people can make clearer choices. Sessions often include work on communication, boundary setting, and coping strategies for daily stress.
Her practice blends several approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. She also draws on couples work informed by the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. Treatment plans are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Christina describes her role as a collaborator rather than an instructor. She helps people identify strengths and build on them, and she supports practical steps that fit each person’s life. Sessions are paced to match what the individual can manage and sustain.
People who choose her often want a balance of skills practice and empathetic listening. Christina emphasizes empowerment, practical change, and steady progress. She welcomes questions about how therapy might look for a specific concern and encourages prospective clients to discuss goals early in the process.

How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people reflect on choices that matter to them. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Sessions often include simple exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It offers tools for distress tolerance and staying grounded during strong feelings, which can help with relationship and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may mix elements from different approaches and can change as progress is made.
