Online therapy with practical, evidence-based approaches

Crista Lonergan draws from approaches that help clients better understand patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping people practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings run high or relationships feel strained. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-driven goals, rather than getting stuck in avoidance or self-criticism.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Crista works collaboratively with clients to identify what they want from therapy, what has and has not helped before, and which strategies feel most realistic for their lives. The approach can be adjusted over time as goals become clearer.

Online therapy makes support more accessible and flexible. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, choosing the format that best matches their schedule, comfort level, and day-to-day demands.
