How Christina works
The overall aim is steadier daily functioning and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming. Christina draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She adapts these tools to each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed method.
Her style is client-centered and strengths-focused, so clients’ values and priorities guide the work. Her background includes lengthy experience with substance-use concerns, trauma and abuse, and working with people who have faced housing instability and readjustment after military service. Christina also addresses parenting stress, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, and career or identity questions.
She works with people across diverse cultural backgrounds. People who choose Christina can expect direct, compassionate help for day-to-day coping and for bigger transitions. She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies designed to fit into a busy life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help when people feel stuck or unsure of their life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build momentum when motivation is mixed or uncertain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, and she will adjust the plan based on progress, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually feels useful in day-to-day life.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. It also allows continuity of care when routines change, and can make shorter check-ins or skill-focused sessions simpler to schedule. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know which formats are available. Licensed professionals can offer effective, practical support through remote sessions when chosen thoughtfully.
