Christine Comito, AASW

Christine Comito is a social worker and therapist based in Australia with eight years of professional experience and the AASW credential - a designation associated with the Australian Association of Social Workers. She supports individuals, children, adolescents, and families facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family conflict, and life transitions, and she also works with people affected by autism spectrum issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and related challenges.

Her practice is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, adapting evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person’s needs and pace. Christine focuses on practical skills that help clients manage emotions, improve communication, and rebuild motivation, drawing on well-established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where appropriate.

Christine aims to offer a respectful space where clients feel heard and empowered to explore their experiences and pursue meaningful change. She provides flexible remote care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Christine works with clients in Australia and is not accepting international clients at this time.

Evidence-based techniques for online support

Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - a practical approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to develop strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. It helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills to reduce distress.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present. This approach can be useful for navigating life changes, low motivation, and persistent worry.

When emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties are prominent, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques can be introduced to teach emotion management, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These methods are offered flexibly and tailored to each person’s situation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Christine works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These options can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
