About Christine
Christine Comito offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She introduces herself simply and listens first, so clients can say what matters to them and start small. Christine holds an AASW credential and has eight years of experience in mental health support.
She focuses on everyday concerns like low mood, low self-esteem and coping with transitions. Christine also helps people facing family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain, and the loneliness that can come with those situations.
How Christine works
Autism and intellectual disability are listed among her focus areas, and she can support people navigating related challenges. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions centre on practical steps, clear strategies and building skills someone can use between meetings.
Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor the work to each person’s needs. People can access sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what suits them. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to Christine’s availability. She works in Australia and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Christine uses a small range of evidence-informed techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and teaches skills to shift patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. It is useful for managing stress, anxiety and depression.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasises values and gentle acceptance of difficult feelings while guiding people to take meaningful action. This can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about life purpose. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that supports people noticing and strengthening their own reasons for change, which is helpful for motivation and commitment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try options that fit those aims. The process is collaborative and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want more flexible, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs.
