Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist follows each person’s pace, reflects concerns back, and helps prioritize what feels most important to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes short exercises to try between sessions and clear steps to track progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals, and adjustments can be made as therapy continues. The process is collaborative - she checks in about what is working and what needs to change so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when a quieter setting is available. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers typing over talking. These options let people arrange care that fits daily life while using the same therapeutic methods as in-person work.
