About Christina
She meets people where they are and looks at the whole person, not just one problem. Christina uses problem solving to break larger goals into small, doable steps. She offers tools for building confidence, increasing self-awareness, and making steady progress.
Her background includes work with families, people with disabilities, hospice care, corrections, prevention programs, substance use services, and Veterans. That variety informs how she adapts interventions to different life situations. Christina values ongoing learning and grows alongside the people she supports.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and strengths-based strategies. She also uses grounding exercises, relaxation methods, and guided meditation when helpful. These approaches are blended to fit a person’s changing needs over time.
Christina aims to help people discover their capacity for growth through steady effort and small wins. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where showing up and trying different strategies leads to progress. Her style is warm, practical, and focused on producing useful change.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions remain relevant as issues evolve.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the original biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to use relaxation or grounding exercises in the moment and to review worksheets or practice tools between meetings. Ask about current session options when you schedule so you know what format will be used.
