How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in simple, practical ways. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and helps people practice different thinking or actions to reduce anxiety and stress. DBT offers skills for tolerating distress and regulating strong emotions, which is useful for mood swings or intense reactions.

Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work. It teaches attention and breathing skills to help people notice the present moment and reduce automatic reactivity. These approaches are taught in straightforward steps and practiced during sessions so clients can use them between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christina works with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow work on skills without traveling to an office. Talk with the therapist about rhythms and timing that work best for you.
