Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is practical and often helpful for relationship stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons for change. MI is useful for building motivation around substance use, lifestyle shifts, or other goals where commitment can wax and wane.
Ideas from attachment theory inform how she looks at patterns in relationships and emotional responses. This helps clients understand why certain interactions feel triggering and learn ways to respond that feel safer and more effective.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while still working toward meaningful change.
