Online care using structured, trauma-aware methods
Cristina offers therapy that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online formats. With CBT she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practices alternative, more adaptive responses. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the impact of traumatic events and to develop strategies for managing trauma symptoms and related difficulties.
She frames sessions as collaborative work in which therapist and client set goals, experiment with new skills, and review what is or is not working. This collaborative stance supports clients who want clear, practical tools alongside space to process emotional material. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions and between-session communication to fit different preferences and routines.
Clients can expect a structured approach that pairs skills training with trauma-informed attention to past experiences. Cristina adapts the use of CBT and trauma-focused techniques to the topics clients bring, focusing on stepwise progress and skills practice between meetings.
