Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and behavior. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.She may also draw on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find internal motivation for change. That approach centers on listening, asking open questions, and helping a person decide what matters most to them. Choosing the right blend of methods is part of the process and will be decided together based on goals, needs, and personal preferences.
Online therapy with Christina can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options give flexibility to maintain progress alongside work, school, and family commitments.
