About Christa
She uses a blend of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to shape sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, identifying patterns of thought and behavior, and trying small, doable changes that build momentum. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals.
Christa often supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also works with ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, anger, parenting questions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is described as kind, non-judgmental, and interactive, with an emphasis on respect and sensitivity. Clients can expect a team approach that combines listening with practical tools. Christa encourages people ready to take a step toward change and offers guidance to help them move forward.
She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients who want to begin can use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach supports work on self-esteem, life purpose, and feelings of isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsivity.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims to find practical next steps and small changes that add up. Sessions often focus on strengths, past solutions, and specific goals to create forward momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That planning can shift as progress is made.
The online setting can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity between visits. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain regular contact during periods of change. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current online options and scheduling details before booking so arrangements match your routine and needs.
