How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Christy works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and behavior change. One common approach is behavioral skill practice, which breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches repeated exercises to build new habits. This helps with issues like addiction, smoking or vaping cessation, and improving daily routines.Another frequently used method is focused problem-solving and coping skills training. That involves identifying specific stressors, generating strategies, and testing those strategies between sessions. It is useful for parenting challenges, caregiver stress, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christy will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what is working and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. For some people a phone call is enough for a quick strategy check, while video can help with more detailed work like role-plays or interactive skill practice.
