How Christina’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track their feelings and how those feelings shape interactions and personal patterns. In brief, EFT focuses on noticing emotions and reshaping how people respond when feelings are activated, which can help with relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about linking thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and uses short exercises to test new behaviors and reframe unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for regulating emotions and tolerating distress through practical tools and structured practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina collaborates with clients to identify goals and chooses techniques that match those goals and personal preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools as progress is made.
