About Christina
Christina Bachenberg is a Maryland licensed clinician with 12 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. Christina aims to make the first step feel less scary and more hopeful for anyone ready to try something different.
She shapes conversations around each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking. Christina pays attention to emotions and patterns that keep people stuck, then works with them to try new responses.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral ideas. That mix supports people wanting to understand their feelings, change unhelpful thoughts, and improve everyday behavior. She also uses brief, goal-focused techniques when clients want shorter-term changes.
Christina has worked with issues beyond mood and anxiety, including body image concerns, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and compulsive behaviors. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan around those priorities. In sessions she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical problem solving.
Christina encourages small experiments between meetings so people can test new ways of coping. The aim is clearer choices and more satisfying daily life.

Online support
How approaches and online sessions work together
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns that follow. It can be useful when someone wants to understand why certain interactions or internal reactions keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating space for a person to explore concerns at their own pace, which can help when someone needs acceptance and steady support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, panic, and obsessive thoughts.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and adjust as needed based on how things change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and hold longer conversations. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn't possible. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when life is unpredictable.
