How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Christina describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Two common approaches she relies on are skill-building focused work and trauma-informed care. Skill-building work teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and boosting self-esteem through small, repeatable exercises. Trauma-informed care centers on safety, pacing, and understanding how past hurt can shape current reactions, which helps when addressing trauma and abuse.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they adjust methods and pace so the plan fits daily life and feels achievable.
