About Christina Collins
Her approach is collaborative and solution-focused, with an emphasis on first understanding each client’s life, priorities, and point of view. Christina believes clients are the experts on themselves, and she brings practical experience and a range of strategies to support the direction they want to take - or to help clarify what that direction might be when things feel uncertain. While she often keeps the work grounded in the present, she also makes space to explore past experiences when they are affecting life today and when a client chooses to go there.
To provide individualized support, Christina draws from a versatile clinical toolbox that includes behavioral approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She recognizes that change can bring uncertainty even when it is wanted, and she aims to help clients move through that transition with intention and support.

Practical Tools and Support, Anywhere You Are
Christina Collins incorporates evidence-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new, more workable ways of responding - a useful fit for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, supporting clients who want steadier coping strategies in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used to help clients process difficult experiences and reduce the ways past events keep showing up in the present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina takes a collaborative, client-centered stance, helping clients identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time. The focus can stay in the here and now, while also making room for past experiences when a client wants to explore them.
Online therapy can make consistent support easier to access. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing more flexibility around busy schedules, energy levels, and day-to-day responsibilities.
