Approaches Christina Uses and How Online Therapy Works

Christina commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and connection, helping clients explore how early relationships shape current interactions and address parenting or attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and respond differently to panic or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Christina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the selected strategies feel relevant and workable.

Online therapy with Christina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, allowing sessions to fit more naturally into daily life.
