Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christy incorporates mindfulness-based practices that focus on breath, body awareness, and present-moment attention. These exercises can help reduce rumination, calm the nervous system, and provide concrete ways to manage anxiety and sleeplessness.She also uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop alternative responses. This approach is practical and skill-focused, often including small homework tasks to test new behaviors between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christy works with each person to try methods that match their goals and daily life, and she adjusts techniques as progress and needs evolve.
