Approach and online therapy options
Christine draws on client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on each person's needs, listening closely and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and to set goals that match their values.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple grounding and attention practices that reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. These techniques are useful for stress, panic, chronic pain, and reactions to trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals, comfort level, and daily life. She adapts techniques as needs change rather than sticking to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travel or work makes regular office visits difficult.
