How Christina’s approaches shape online therapy

Christina integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Attachment work looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people change how they relate to others. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily needs. She listens to what matters most and adjusts pacing and techniques as the work unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support consistent work on skills between meetings, since tools from CBT and DBT transfer well into daily routines. Licensed professionals can help you weigh options and plan sessions that fit your schedule and goals.
