Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive and behavioral tools. That means the person in therapy guides the priorities while evidence-based techniques are used to change unhelpful thoughts and actions. Mindfulness and existential ideas are used when they fit a person’s goals and values.
Christi has been working in the mental health and addiction field for 19 years. She draws on that experience when helping people with life transitions, relationship problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and work-related burnout. She also addresses issues such as codependency, isolation, and feelings of emptiness.
In sessions she supports people dealing with trauma, anger, substance concerns, and first responder stress. The work is collaborative - planning happens together so goals feel realistic. Christi encourages small steps and measures progress along the way.

04Online support
How her approaches work online and in session
Client‑centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities, giving people space to name what matters and set the pace for change. It helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and a place to sort out options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Christi treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works for each person. The goal is to match methods to your needs, values, and day‑to‑day life.
Online work can be flexible and convenient. Video calls let people use face‑to‑face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check‑ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
