How Christina’s approaches translate to online sessions

Christina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. ACT focuses on noticing values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It can help when someone feels directionless or stuck after a life change. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Christina treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which approaches best match a client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That makes the plan flexible rather than fixed.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to phone or video sessions, using homework between meetings to practice new skills and track progress.
