How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to values-based action. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build routines for sleep, mood, anger, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for moments of intense feeling. Those skills are useful when anger, impulsivity, or strong reactions interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Decisions about approach are shared and revisited over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face work on skills and problem solving, phone sessions can fit a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats allow brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
