Her practice is based in Texas and conducted in English. Christina encourages people to start by describing what feels most urgent, and then she helps shape a plan that fits daily life and long-term aims.
How her approaches translate to online care
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and telling more helpful personal stories. One approach helps people identify and test negative thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood, often through short exercises and homework between sessions. Another approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their past, helping them rewrite those narratives so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find online sessions help maintain momentum between in-person options and everyday life.
