How Christine’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps people uncover their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for building trust, managing anger, and sorting out relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective responses. CBT uses simple exercises and experiments that can reduce anxiety, curb impulsive reactions, and change patterns that feed depression or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people work face to face when a visual connection helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, and brief reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep building skills between sessions.
