How her approaches translate to online therapy
Chrissy uses client-centered care that focuses on what the person needs and values. This approach means sessions center on listening, understanding a person’s goals, and co-creating a plan that fits their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced in real life between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as grounding and emotion regulation techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and test what helps most based on the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and challenges appear.

In general, online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Whether sessions are scheduled as longer weekly conversations or brief focused check-ins, the aim is to work practical tools and coping strategies into day-to-day life so progress can continue between meetings.
