Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and take action toward meaningful goals. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life changes because it focuses on building psychological flexibility and purposeful behavior.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns that stem from early bonds. This approach helps clients understand how attachment styles affect communication, intimacy, and trust, and it is often helpful for couples work, family dynamics, and healing from relational trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christi works with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, blending techniques when appropriate so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access licensed professionals from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
