Christa draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused work.

Her background includes a decade of direct clinical experience as a therapist, alongside roles as a medical social worker, health coach, and mental health case manager. That variety informs a practical focus on problem solving, routines, and small changes that add up over time. She has supported people coping with emotional abuse and physical trauma in prior roles.

Seeking support can feel hard, and Christa aims to make the first steps straightforward. She will work with each person to set clear goals, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.

How these approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what each person says matters most. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and adjusts sessions around your goals and pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns like impulsivity or unhelpful self-talk.

Solution-focused work concentrates on what changes would look like and how to get there. Sessions tend to be goal-directed and oriented toward concrete steps you can try between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying a few strategies and adjusting over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks or when travel would otherwise be a barrier.
