Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing help identify patterns and create realistic behavior changes. Her background includes work with people facing trauma, substance-use issues, and complex social challenges. She also has experience with readjustment counseling for Veterans and with individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
In sessions she draws on mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with values, and make steps toward change. Those tools are used alongside practical problem solving for things like sleep, managing anger, and coping with major life changes. Christina practices in Ohio and offers services in English.
She approaches each person as an individual and helps set goals that fit daily life and responsibilities. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions when the goal is clearer direction and steady steps forward.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them. This approach supports self-directed change and helps people feel understood while they decide next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing anger through practical techniques and homework exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and daily life. The plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter or more flexible when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered work, and CBT to an online setting so the focus stays on practical skills and steady progress.
