How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Christina names Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Narrative methods as part of her toolbox. Cognitive Behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, habits, and behaviors interact and teach practical exercises to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Narrative methods focus on the stories people tell about their lives and help reframe those stories to reduce shame and open new choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and daily routines. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts methods based on what helps most for symptoms and life demands.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try strategies in their real-life settings and bring concrete examples back to the sessions for practical problem solving.
