How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and clear steps. One common approach she uses focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, paced problem-solving, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. These techniques help people manage day-to-day symptoms and regain a sense of control.

Another frequently applied method centers on processing grief and trauma through paced, supportive conversation. This involves naming difficult emotions, tracking how triggers show up in daily life, and slowly building strategies to reduce their impact. For people facing major life changes, the work often weaves problem-solving with meaning-focused conversations about values and next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what is most helpful. Clients and therapist work together to find methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than following a rigid plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from work breaks or between appointments. It can also offer a way to continue therapy during relocations or when handling caregiving and medical schedules.
