About Christina
She uses a practical, person-centered way of working. Christina listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals. Sessions often include skills practice and problem-solving tailored to daily life challenges.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotion regulation and grounding techniques for intense moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit for processing distressing memories when appropriate.
Christina supports people with concerns tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She also works with chronic pain, illness, disability, isolation and loneliness, and aging or geriatric concerns.
Clients who are veterans or facing veteran and armed forces issues may find relevant experience here. Christina aims to collaborate on practical steps, helping people try new coping strategies and track what helps over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on your strengths. The therapist creates a space where you set goals and decide which steps feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs and try methods that match your goals. Together you will pick techniques to use in sessions and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins between commitments or avoiding travel time. It can also allow use of worksheets, behavioral assignments, and skills coaching during the week to reinforce what is covered in sessions.
