How Christina Uses Collaborative and CBT Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. Christina follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people feel understood while they decide what to work on. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Christina uses practical tools from CBT to help with anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, and unhelpful reactions to stress. These tools often include simple exercises and action steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend whether to focus more on client-centered listening, CBT skills, or a mix of both. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as needs shift.
