She respects each person’s background and identity while helping them develop new ways to manage daily challenges. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging formats to fit different needs. Christina speaks English and practices in Alabama as an LPC.

How therapeutic methods fit into online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and values. In online sessions this means starting where the client is and shaping goals together, whether the focus is on coping with anxiety or exploring identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework and concrete skill-building to address anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced through specific exercises and brief check-ins between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skills or adding mindfulness exercises when helpful.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when that helps build rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexible ways to stay connected between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills between sessions.
