About Christina

Background and approach

Christina emphasizes listening and understanding, guiding clients to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with respect and sensitivity. Her approach blends humanistic and existential perspectives with practical, brain-informed techniques and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

She works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and compassion fatigue, as well as related issues such as attachment problems, codependency, dissociation, and control struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and Christina accepts international clients, bringing a steady, nonjudgmental presence to online formats.

Christina holds an LPC credential and practices from Wisconsin, focusing on collaborative care that helps people feel understood and find workable steps forward. She aims to create a warm clinical relationship where exploration and change can unfold at a pace that fits each person.

Integrating Therapy Approaches in Online Care

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for issues like self-criticism, dissociation, and patterns rooted in early relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients clarify their own goals and values. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility, inviting reflection about life transitions, feelings of emptiness, and questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach often happens together over a few sessions. The therapist will collaborate with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as insight and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions while respecting each person's pace and priorities.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or across time zones. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support and various ways to communicate so clients can pick the style that feels most workable for them.
