Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christian integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and validation to foster growth. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can aid clients dealing with intense emotions, anger, or relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and he collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. This range of options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
