01About Christina
Christina Bachenberg offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. She presents a steady, respectful approach and helps clients talk through what matters most to them. Christina holds an MD and is an LCPC, and she has twelve years of clinical experience in Maryland.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life. That might mean learning new ways to manage panic, working on body image and self-love, or rebuilding motivation after a setback.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be direct and encouraging, not full of jargon. Christina uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful habits. She blends client-centered ideas to make space for each person's priorities, and she draws on emotionally-focused techniques when feelings and relationships are central to the issue.
She also works with solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to set realistic goals and keep momentum between sessions. Common focuses include coping with depression, improving communication, and managing obsessions, compulsions, or trichotillomania. Christina emphasizes collaboration.
Together she and the client develop a clear plan, track progress, and adjust as goals evolve. Her style is practical, compassionate, and directed toward everyday changes that add up over time.

04Online support
How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks open questions, and helps clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short homework tasks that are easy to review during a video or chat session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people pay attention to feelings in relationships and learn new ways to express emotions and respond to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. She uses that discussion to pick techniques that fit the client and may combine methods as needed so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good choice for lower bandwidth or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, mood tracking, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or family commitments.
