She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult feelings. Techniques from dialectical behavior therapy support emotion regulation when feelings run high.
Christina has supported people through trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and issues like addiction or ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses concerns about body image, codependency, and life transitions. Her goal is to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life.
People who prefer a calm, direct style often find this approach helpful. Christina adapts pacing and homework to match each person's rhythm. She aims to build skills that fit into busy family and work schedules.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing attention on behaviors that reflect personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve functioning; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day challenges, and preferred ways of working. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, adjusting strategies as needed so the plan fits the person's life and responsibilities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper skill practice. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, between-session coaching, and ongoing support that fits into busy days. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work, or other obligations.
