How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Christina commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills to reduce anxiety and mood struggles. Dialectical behavior therapy is another approach she uses to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT tools are useful when emotions feel overwhelming and quick coping skills are needed. Mindfulness therapy is included to help people build awareness and reduce reactivity through simple attention exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, daily routines, and what feels doable. She reviews what helps and adjusts strategies as someone makes progress or faces new challenges.
