How Christina Uses Practical Therapies Online

Christina often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is useful when anxiety, stress, or workplace and money worries make daily tasks harder. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become overwhelming; DBT offers simple tools to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so the work feels relevant and doable for everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school, and allow quick check-ins when needed. The focus remains on practical strategies and steady progress, no matter which communication method is chosen.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
