She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals and track progress between meetings.

She has supported people facing bipolar symptoms, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.

She also addresses family problems, communication and commitment issues, codependency, and substance-related difficulties.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people find their own answers; it supports people who need empathy and space to understand feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps and short-term goals that build momentum and show measurable progress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work together with each person to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as things change over time. That way sessions stay focused and relevant to what matters most to the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a full session when face-to-face interaction helps, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or offer ongoing brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
