Approaches that translate well to online care
Christine blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing a person's story and building on their strengths to set goals and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and relationship effectiveness, which can help with anger, mood instability, and coping under pressure.Finding the best approach is a team effort. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most, moving between listening, skill building, and brief behavioral experiments as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is preferable. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins and ongoing reminders between sessions. These formats aim to make care easier to fit into busy lives while supporting steady therapeutic progress.
