Remote therapy with practical strategies and values-based work
Chrisandra integrates several evidence-informed approaches in virtual sessions to address presenting concerns in a focused, collaborative way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through concrete exercises and problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports exploration of personal values and builds willingness to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships or intense feelings get in the way.In online work she frames treatment as a partnership: goals and homework are discussed together, and techniques are chosen to fit each person’s situation and preferences. Sessions may include skill practice, values clarification, and motivational strategies to support change. Services are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how conversations and follow-up take place.
Chrisandra adapts her use of these approaches to the virtual setting so that tools and exercises translate into day-to-day life, with an emphasis on what the individual wants to accomplish and how they prefer to work.
