Background and approach
That makes overwhelming problems feel more manageable one step at a time. Christine often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and build calm.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck. Her work covers a range of concerns including family stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and a variety of interpersonal issues like communication problems and codependency. She also supports people dealing with aging and caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Sessions are built around collaboration and clear goals. Christine aims to make practical plans clients can use between meetings, such as short behavioral experiments, communication skills, or brief mindfulness exercises. She helps people notice progress and adjust the plan when needed.
How Christine Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration. Online, this looks like checking in about what matters most, naming concerns, and co-creating goals that fit daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to test new outcomes; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on how things are going. Together they set simple, measurable steps and review progress over time to refine the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and each has practical benefits. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, tracking small goals, and keeping momentum between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
