Approaches that shape online work

Christi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small, values-based steps. ACT focuses on making room for difficult feelings while building actions that match personal goals and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people identify recurring relationship dynamics and practice new ways of relating to partners and close others.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. She may combine ACT, attachment work, and client-centered techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single method.

Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during a short break, or remove travel time so people can focus more on the work. Licensed professionals aim to keep sessions practical and attentive to daily life while helping clients build strategies that last.
