Her style is warm and human. People can expect to talk through what is most pressing, set small goals, and try tools between appointments. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle life’s ups and downs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Christine commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT-style work online can focus on breaking worries into smaller parts, testing ideas between sessions, and practicing skills during daily life.

She also uses a client-centered way of meeting people where they are, offering listening and collaboration to set goals that matter. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or strong mood swings are a concern; these skills give concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together the therapist and client decide what to try first and adjust as needed over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, progress notes, or between-session support while keeping scheduling flexible.
