Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress. Cristina helps people break problems into manageable steps and learn new ways to cope. She also brings attention to how a person’s values and life story shape their choices.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens, asks straightforward questions, and helps clients try small experiments between sessions. For those facing life transitions, career concerns, or identity questions, she helps map a path forward.
Cristina frames work around what each person wants to change. Whether addressing mood, addictive patterns, family of origin issues, or cultural concerns, she aims to make therapy practical and relevant. Her training as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) guides her clinical decisions and care.

How Cristina’s Approaches Guide Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective, with the therapist offering understanding and space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.The therapist will treat approach selection as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify what fits their goals, values, and daily life, and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Together they track what helps and shift focus when needed so sessions stay relevant.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and work well for skill practice and deeper talk. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work or a tight schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, share quick updates, or get short coaching-style support when ideas or skills need reinforcement.
