How therapeutic approaches are used for online work
Christina commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas and trauma-informed care to help people understand internal parts and the effects of past events on present reactions. These approaches aim to make memories and patterns easier to name and manage rather than to relive them.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Christina works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, take a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use skills practice, in-session coaching, and symptom tracking in remote sessions to keep momentum between meetings.
