Online session options
Online approaches that shape your sessions
Christina commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and rewrite limiting stories. This approach is useful for identity concerns, trauma, stress, and issues tied to culture or discrimination. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which prioritizes listening, empathy, and the client's goals so you guide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when practical steps are needed to change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can combine narrative meaning-making with specific skill practice so therapy feels both personally relevant and actionable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different locations and are helpful for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are an option when low bandwidth or no camera is needed, and brief live chat or text messaging can be useful for check-ins, coping reminders, or short coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
