Remote care using structured, skills-based methods
Christina Laydon brings her LICSW practice to remote formats with an emphasis on structured, skills-oriented approaches. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior into more manageable strategies. Sessions can include skill practice and brief take-home exercises to support changes between meetings.Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in clear, teachable steps. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on concrete goals and small, achievable steps toward desired outcomes, making sessions practical and goal-directed.
Laydon frames remote work as collaborative, inviting input on goals and preferred pace. She offers sessions through video calls and phone sessions, and communicates via live chat or text-based messaging when needed. This blend of approaches is presented in accessible language and with attention to what each person identifies as priorities for their time in therapy.
