Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christa uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where the client’s perspective and goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a collaborative foundation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps, helping clients set achievable goals and notice progress quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christa works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and goals over time, combining strategies as needed to support clear movement toward the client’s objectives.

Online therapy with Christa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to the online setting.
