Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns such as grief, family problems, substance use, and codependency. She blends structured methods with a client-centered stance so people feel heard while also moving toward change.
Christina pays attention to issues like attachment, communication struggles, body image, control issues, guilt, and loneliness. She helps people untangle how past hurts affect present choices and supports practical changes for daily life.
People who choose Christina can expect straightforward, compassionate work that balances insight with action. To begin, she asks about current challenges and priorities, and then together she and the person build a step-by-step plan that fits their situation.
How Christina’s approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can name what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort through emotions and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It involves straightforward exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and coping, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency.
Motivational Interviewing helps people move from uncertainty to action by exploring their own values and reasons for change. It is often used alongside other methods to support change around substance use or habits that feel stuck.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and when to shift the plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing and format so sessions fit into everyday life.
