Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to provide practical and compassionate care. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, which helps when facing relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, or life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping practices that can lessen emotional reactivity and support ongoing self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine collaborates with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent care, practical skill-building, and supportive dialogue while accommodating varied lifestyles and commitments.
