Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, helping clients reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression through practical skills and structured exercises. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotion regulation and reduce rumination. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients are weighing change or seeking greater clarity about goals; this collaborative style helps strengthen motivation and commitment to steps that match personal values.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and Christina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive as clients progress.
