Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Christina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative, CBT, and mindfulness work online
Christina uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink their personal stories and the roles they play. This approach can be useful for identity questions, life transitions, and making sense of difficult events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together you can try an approach and adjust it over time if something else fits better. The aim is to find methods that are useful in everyday life, not to force one single style.
Online therapy with Christina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping therapy part of a regular routine.
