Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on teaching practical stress and anxiety management strategies such as relaxation exercises, pacing, and problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another strand of work helps people process the effects of trauma and abuse by creating safer ways to talk about difficult memories and by strengthening coping tools to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina talks with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and she adjusts methods as needed. Together they try strategies, track what works, and refine the plan so it fits the person’s life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video and phone sessions allow more in-depth conversation and real-time feedback, while live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options help learners fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
