Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Christina draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a compassionate, non-judgemental environment where the client’s perspectives and feelings guide the pace of therapy - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding, self-esteem and emotional clarity. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns formed in close relationships and explores how early and current attachment experiences affect present-day connection and trust - it can be particularly useful for relationship issues, abandonment and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She combines methods when appropriate and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Christina is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or work, accommodate busy lives and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
