Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care

Christie integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and focus on meaningful actions - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and chronic patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and connections with others, which can be useful for attachment issues, relationship conflicts, grief, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the pace and goals of treatment, benefiting those working on self-esteem, life changes, or emotional processing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will work with each client to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques from these approaches to find the best fit. This partnership helps tailor care to what feels most useful and sustainable for the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. Working remotely allows licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across different settings while making it easier to fit sessions into daily life.
