How Christine works
That background shaped how she organizes therapy so it fits real life. She often asks about relationships, routines, and culture to see what strengths are already available to use right away. Her sessions are active and personalized.
She starts by listening closely, then helps set clear priorities and simple steps to try between meetings. Tools might include cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, or creative activities like writing and art when that fits a person’s style. Christine also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past hurts keep coming up.
She looks for practical ways to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning rather than getting stuck on labels. She offers many options and works with each person to choose what feels most helpful. People who come to Christine can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and a focus on strengths.
Her aim is to help people develop usable skills, reduce distress, and build more satisfying ways of coping with life changes.

How Christine Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at each person’s pace. It emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths, helping people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care. This approach is useful for relationship worries, parenting strain, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful alternatives. It is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss options, listen to your goals, and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process may lead to using one approach or blending techniques over time.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Many people find online formats help them stay consistent with sessions and apply new skills between meetings.
