Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide helpful, practical work. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Narrative approaches look at the stories people tell about their lives and help reframe those stories to emphasize strengths and options.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you will adjust tools and strategies until they fit your situation and feel useful.

For practical matters, confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people choose options that suit their comfort with video or audio at different times.
