Christine draws on cognitive behavioral therapy along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build daily habits that reduce worry and improve sleep.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She invites clients to talk honestly about relationship concerns, career doubts, grief, identity issues, and caregiver stress. Christine also addresses workplace strain, body image, and issues related to aging and life purpose.

Therapy with Christine blends listening and structure. She meets people where they are and adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. Together they set goals, test small changes, and work toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

How Christine’s Methods Work Online

Christine uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve sleep. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which fits well with video or messaging formats.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, accepting stance and follows the person’s lead. This approach is useful when someone needs a listening space to sort through grief, identity questions, or relationship concerns.

Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple awareness skills and breathing or grounding exercises. Those techniques can be practiced between sessions to lower stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. She collaborates on a plan and checks in about what is helping and what could change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, quick questions, and between-session check-ins that fit into busy days.
