She emphasizes strengths and works to build strategies that fit real life. Treatment plans are shaped by what the client says they need and want to accomplish. She also supports issues tied to life transitions, including divorce and separation, adoption and foster care matters, and post-traumatic stress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps people who need tools they can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.Another common focus is trauma-informed work that pays attention to safety, pacing, and reclaiming control after difficult experiences. That kind of approach supports those coping with trauma, abuse, or post-traumatic stress by helping them process experiences at a manageable pace.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to your goals, tries methods that fit your needs, and adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to choose techniques that feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and let people meet from home or elsewhere. The variety of formats helps people stay consistent with sessions and use support in ways that suit their daily routines.
