Approaches for online care and trauma-informed support

Christina uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and acceptance and is useful for addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people process and make sense of distressing or harmful experiences. This approach concentrates on understanding the impact of trauma, developing coping strategies, and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life. It is often chosen by people dealing with abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Christina works together with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or a convenient location. These options support ongoing care around work, family, and other commitments, and make it easier to continue therapy even when schedules or circumstances change.
