Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Christi draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to support online clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems and building practical skills to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christi works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and tailors treatment accordingly rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Together they evaluate which techniques fit best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and therapists can also connect through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life, maintain continuity across locations, and access consistent support for managing stress, addiction recovery work, grief, and other concerns.
