Everything Chrasanthum lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based methods and online care

Chrissy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, activity scheduling, and thought tracking to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach helps people process trauma and past abuse by pacing exposure and teaching grounding and emotion regulation skills so memories feel less overwhelming.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels helpful to you. From there she will suggest strategies and adjust them over time so the plan fits your needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style exchanges between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, travel, or times when a quieter setting is easier to arrange.
