How Christina Brings Therapy Online
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse and then testing small changes to see what helps. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and rebuilding emotional connection, which can be useful for resolving repeated fights and boosting closeness.She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. Together they review what is working, adjust strategies, and pick simple exercises to practice between meetings. The choice of approach can shift as needs change, and the therapist helps guide that decision-making process.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, ongoing support, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent help without long commutes or scheduling barriers.
