Christina aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people challenge thoughts that worsen anxiety or mood. Mindfulness-based practices are added when someone wants skills to calm their body and mind. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making changes, and solution-focused tools help identify small, achievable next steps. Together these approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in handling stress and anger. Christina works from Illinois and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christina uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and values. This approach means the therapist listens closely and adjusts the pace and topics to fit what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses for anxiety, anger, or low mood. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Christina works with clients to try approaches, see what feels useful, and adapt the plan over time based on progress and preferences. Confirm current online session options before scheduling since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and bring issues from daily life directly into the conversation. Licensed professionals aim to match session structure to what helps each person make steady progress.
