Online support options

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a method used to process difficult memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation and focused recall.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques over time so therapy stays useful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone message between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, recovery schedules, or caregiving routines.
