How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps people name their goals, and supports decisions that feel right to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical, testable behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear steps to change patterns.
Mindfulness practice builds awareness of present-moment experience without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity to strong emotions and improve attention during parenting or work stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and recommend a mix of methods over time. That collaboration helps shape goals and the pace of sessions so the work fits real life.
