Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christina "Chrissy" Senior uses client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s goals and perspective, creating space for clients to guide the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and support - this approach is useful for building trust and addressing relationship, self-esteem, and adjustment concerns.

She also integrates solution-focused techniques that concentrate on practical steps and small, achievable changes to help people move past specific problems and regain a sense of control - this can be especially helpful for stress, coping with life changes, and short-term goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Christina collaborates with clients to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change.
