Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christine commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try tools and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat gives a real-time written option, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling and staying consistent easier for many people.
