Christina is an incredible therapist. It’s so hard to find a good fit when it comes to therapy. I had to go through a couple different therapists before I found her. She has been helping me heal, and I feel closer to peace after every session.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed July 2024

Christina is absolutely amazing! This was my first experience with therapy, and I can't thank her enough for everything she did for me. I had tried another therapist before her that just didn't help me much, and once switching to Christina, it was so different for me. She gave me hope and an outlet. She was encouraging and thoughtful; helpful and a great listener. She offered me advice and tools when I needed, and support when that's what I needed too. She really took the time to get to know me and provide the best for me. Honestly cannot thank her enough.

Christina has helped me so much! I came into therapy nervous, not really knowing what to expect. She is personable, caring, friendly, and SO engaged! The way she had guided me to see things differently, for the better, has helped tremendously. She has given me the tools to work on many things myself between sessions. My relationships are better, I’m happier, I am better at controlling my emotions (anger, frustration) in situations that are not ideal. I’m a better Mommy and wife :)
