Approaches and Online Care Tailored to You

Christine brings client-centered therapy to online work by focusing on each person’s strengths and perspectives - the therapist listens deeply, helps reflect what matters most, and supports clients in identifying their own goals and solutions. This approach is useful for individuals navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, or seeking clearer self-understanding.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete techniques for managing symptoms like anxiety or depression and often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from home or wherever life happens, while allowing therapists and clients to work together effectively across distance.
