Background and approach

Her work emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate engagement while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific circumstances and goals. Christina aims to create an environment that supports clients as they take courageous steps toward greater well-being.

She combines practical skills and therapeutic listening to help clients navigate life transitions, relationship and intimacy challenges, addiction-related concerns, grief, and difficulties with sleep or eating.

Integrated Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of parts that hold different feelings and roles; therapy helps people relate to those parts with curiosity and compassion to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and practicing mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions while taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes empathy, genuine engagement, and collaborative understanding to support growth and self-directed change.

Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening with practical strategies so that clients can experiment with approaches and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from varied locations and to choose modes of communication that feel most comfortable while working toward their goals.
