How Chrissy applies evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Chrissy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and mood regulation. Behavioral approaches break down unhelpful habits into small steps and build new routines; these methods help with anxiety, depression, and impulse-related problems.She also uses trauma-informed strategies to address the effects of past abuse or traumatic events. These techniques help people reduce symptom impact, learn grounding and regulation skills, and regain daily functioning after stressful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chrissy will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress is tracked together.
