How Chrissy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client decide the next steps. This works well for people who want a collaborative, respectful process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chrissy will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest methods that fit. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified in the biography.

Talk with the therapist about what session rhythm and format will fit your schedule and goals.
