Remote therapy approach
Christina offers remote sessions that follow a collaborative, client-centered style. Sessions are conducted using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. In remote work she maintains a partnership model, working with the person to set goals and to adapt exercises and plans to the communication format being used.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, with practical strategies and skill-building exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provides tools for clarifying personal values and for learning ways to act toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. These two approaches can be combined to address both symptom-focused skills and values-based direction.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are incorporated when the focus is on readiness to change and on creating small, achievable steps. This combination can suit people looking for structured skill practice alongside brief, goal-oriented planning during video, phone, live chat, or text-based exchanges.
