Approaches that translate to online work

Chrisandra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based action and to help clients accept difficult feelings while moving toward their goals. Client-centered methods form the base of sessions, focusing first on listening and understanding each person's experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different tools and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full session work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging support ongoing coaching between sessions and quick check-ins when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
