About Christan
Christan treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens first and then helps sort through options. She teaches skills that can be used between sessions to manage anxiety, improve conversations, and cope with loss.
Her work often addresses caregiver stress, problems communicating, divorce and separation, and issues many women face. Sessions focus on what people want to change and on small, concrete steps they can try. She keeps the conversation grounded and action-oriented while also making space for emotion.
Christan uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She may draw on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and track progress.
With nine years of experience since 2015, she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space. She supports people who are ready to take a first step toward a more manageable and meaningful life. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to organize thoughts before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises and tools people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses questions and reflection to build motivation and clarify goals for taking steps forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
