She encourages small experiments and practical strategies alongside listening and reflection. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning and building long-term coping skills.

How her approaches can work online

Cristina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move towards what matters to them, which can be useful for dealing with anxiety or life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different behaviours, which often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. Cristina will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and needs. That might include mixing techniques and adjusting focus as therapy progresses. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow continued work during life transitions. It also allows brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what the person needs. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work often adapt exercises and homework to suit a screen or phone, helping people apply new skills in everyday life.
