Background and approach

Christina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions and close relationships shape day-to-day life.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. Christina checks progress regularly and adjusts work as needed so clients see if things are moving in the right direction. She aims to create a calm space where people can try new ways of relating and coping.

Online support

How emotion-focused and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships. It’s useful when people want to improve connection, reduce conflict, or heal from attachment wounds. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that form in close relationships and how they influence safety and trust, which can help with intimacy and family stress.

Christina blends these approaches with cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and with mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. She treats approach selection as a shared process. Together the client and therapist will decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and revisit that plan as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions.
