Online support

How evidence-based methods work online

Christina draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, then practices alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. This method suits worries, panic symptoms, and mood concerns.

She also uses skill-based strategies to teach breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to manage anger, panic, and overwhelm. These skills are brief and practical, so clients can use them between sessions to handle stress and daily challenges. For attachment and caregiver stress, sessions often include techniques to notice relationship patterns and try different responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Christina explains why she suggests options so people can weigh what fits their needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and nonverbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping treatment focused and practical.
