About Christina
She pays attention to how life events have affected the whole person, not just a single symptom. Christina uses problem solving to break big goals into manageable steps and works alongside clients to create realistic plans. Progress, she says, comes from showing up and trying new skills over time.
Her background includes work in hospice care, corrections, veteran services, prevention programs, and with families and disabled children. Those experiences inform how she supports people coping with grief, career strain, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Christina also helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
In session she draws from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, plus client-centered and attachment-based ideas. That means she blends skills practice - like grounding and relaxation - with space to talk and reflect. Guided meditation and strengths-focused work are common tools she uses when they fit a person’s needs.
Christina describes her role as a partner in growth. She aims to help people find solutions, reduce overwhelm, and notice their capacity to change. Readers in New York who prefer sessions in English will find this approach framed around clear, practical steps.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move someone toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships affect emotion and behavior and helps people understand and shift those patterns over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress unfolds, so therapy feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, like fitting a short check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work also makes it possible to practice grounding or relaxation skills in real settings and to bring real-life situations into session for review. Talk with Christina during the initial match questionnaire or first meeting about what schedule and format best fit everyday life.
