How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify values to guide action; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and teaches specific, practical exercises to change how people react. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can explore choices. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process is ongoing and can shift as needs change. Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that reduce the need for camera use if someone prefers. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal-setting to work in remote sessions so the focus stays on practical changes in thoughts and daily habits.
