Therapeutic Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Christina Stanley draws from approaches that keep therapy practical, supportive, and tailored to each person’s goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful relationship where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want, at their own pace. It can be especially helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening self-love during stressful transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new skills that better match a client’s values and daily needs. CBT is often used when stress, anxiety, or depression are affecting mood, relationships, and routines. Solution-Focused Therapy adds a goal-oriented lens by identifying what is already working, clarifying next steps, and building momentum through small, realistic changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively with clients to understand their preferences, culture and lived experience, and the outcomes they want from therapy, then adjusts the work accordingly.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and keep progress going between sessions.
