How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Christa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that lead to a more meaningful life, which can help with avoidance and stuckness.

Therapy is collaborative and exploratory. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Christa works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration shapes the pace and focus of sessions so work feels practical and manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins during life transitions and to apply strategies between sessions.
