She meets people virtually through online counseling sites.

Away from work she spends time with her daughter and her grandchildren and draws on life experience from living abroad and traveling. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize honest conversation and building a clear understanding of what the client wants to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns, try new ways of thinking, and practice small behavioral experiments between appointments.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and immediate goals. This can be useful for people who want short-term planning and clear next actions to reduce stress or move past a specific problem.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needs change.
