Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Christina "Christie" Samulevich integrates several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so that clients lead the pace and direction of work; it is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to address patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing tolerance for distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Christie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy with Christie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks, or while managing busy lives, while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
