Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She helps people notice what is getting in the way and then practices different approaches together. Sessions often include talking, behavioral suggestions, and small experiments to try between meetings.
Cristina asks clients to take gradual steps toward change. She supports people as they test new habits and evaluate what is helpful. Her background and five years of work give her experience across a range of mood and anxiety concerns, and in helping clients rethink their next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are behavioral work and structured conversation. Behavioral approaches focus on changing actions and testing new habits to reduce anxiety and lift mood. These methods help when avoidance, panic symptoms, or low motivation are getting in the way. Structured conversation involves organizing sessions around specific goals and communication patterns. This helps with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and improving how people express needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristina will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and save travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or longer weekly sessions when more time is helpful.
