Background and approach
Christi listens first, then helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. She emphasizes compassion and clear communication in every conversation. Her approach mixes evidence-based tools with a warm, client-centered stance.
That means sessions center on the person in front of her and their priorities. Techniques may include learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthening close relationships. Christi also supports people dealing with trauma, caregiving stress, parenting strain, body image concerns, chronic illness, and issues related to adoption or abandonment.
She offers ways to manage strong emotions, reduce conflict, and build routines that make day-to-day life easier. People who work with Christi can expect practical recommendations, empathetic listening, and steps they can use outside of sessions. She encourages self-compassion and gradual progress, and she helps people set manageable goals for lasting change.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, and habit patterns such as addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christi will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest techniques that fit the person and their situation. The decision about which tools to try is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers options for how to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments, fit therapy into busy days, and pick the way of communicating that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, run behavioral exercises, practice new communication styles, and track progress across sessions.
