Therapeutic approaches and working online

Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches specific strategies to handle anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. This helps with day-to-day coping and improves organization and focus. Another frequent element is relationship-focused work that targets communication patterns and attachment dynamics. These conversations clarify how people relate, set boundaries, and address issues like commitment, codependency, or intimacy concerns. That work often includes concrete communication practice and setting realistic next steps. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christi discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommends which techniques to try. The choice is made together and can be adjusted as sessions progress. For session logistics, confirm the exact online formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer the option to meet without being on camera when that helps focus on the conversation.
