Step 3
Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Christina draws from approaches that help people change thinking patterns and rewrite difficult life stories. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those narratives so they support healthier choices and better self-understanding.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Christina works with each person to set clear goals and tries different methods when needed. She helps clients decide which techniques fit their needs, values, and day-to-day life rather than insisting on one single method.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. It can also let people use shorter sessions when that suits their routine. Ask about the available formats and scheduling options when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your practical needs and goals.
