Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching practical skills. One common approach emphasizes emotional regulation and behavioral strategies to help manage mood swings, impulsivity, and intense emotions; it aims to give clear tools for handling difficult moments. Another approach centers on communication and problem-solving to reduce conflict and improve interactions around parenting and blended family stressors; it helps people build routines and clearer ways of talking through issues.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their situation, and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. The aim is to find what helps most for everyday functioning and long-term coping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and demonstrations of skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed, live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or following up between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible to fit work, parenting, and other life demands.
