Background and approach
She helps people notice their inner experience and build a steadier relationship with themselves. Sessions often include talk and experiential work that focuses on feelings, body awareness, and how relationships shape emotional life. This mix aims to help clients find clearer direction and relief from overwhelming emotions.
Christina blends several ways of working to match each person’s needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotional patterns in close relationships.
Somatic methods add attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress and trauma. She trained in expressive arts and somatic experiencing and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Appalachian State University. Her undergraduate work was in theatre and English at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
Christina frames therapy as a shared journey and supports practical steps toward healing. People who prefer an empathic, experiential style may find her approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling through the site.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Collins commonly draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside somatic awareness in her work. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in current connections and helps people rewrite those patterns for healthier relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying core emotions in relationships and shifting responses to build more stable bonds. Somatic methods bring attention to bodily sensations and how the body stores stress, helping people notice and work with physical cues alongside emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively to learn what matters to each person and adapts methods to fit individual goals and comfort. She and the client review what helps most as therapy proceeds and adjust the focus together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check‑in visits when needed. It also supports using expressive or somatic exercises that can be done while at home and lets the therapist and client practice skills in everyday environments. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
