How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Christina draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite parts that limit their choices. Narrative work can be helpful for identity issues, relationship patterns, and long-standing negative self-beliefs.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes meaningful goals over symptom elimination.
Client-Centered Therapy is a steady element in her practice, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people set the pace and direction of work. This approach supports trust and helps clients feel heard while other strategies are introduced.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Christina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates, ask quick questions, or check in between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into everyday life.
