How Christine works
That means sessions often include talking through problems, trying small behavior changes, and setting clear goals together. Her background includes work in residential facilities and correctional settings, as well as office-based practice. Those experiences shaped a flexible, practical approach to things that do not fit neat boxes.
Christine has six years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Missouri. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, depression, process addictions, sex addiction, first responder issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, and challenges common to young adults and women. Christine also supports those dealing with relationship strain, LGBT concerns, career stress, low self-esteem, anger, and coping after loss.
Sessions can include planning for self-care and building routines that fit real life. Christine often begins with weekly meetings until a plan is established, then adjusts frequency as goals are met. The work aims to be practical, honest, and focused on change.

How Christine's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client choose priorities to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and supports small, achievable steps toward goals; it is often used when people struggle with addictions or motivation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christine will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust plans together over time. The process is collaborative and goal-focused so people know what to expect from sessions.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper skill work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options help fit therapy into work, school, and busy family schedules and make it easier to keep regular contact with licensed professionals.
