How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values and puts their priorities first in each session. It helps when someone needs a supportive listener who follows their pace and respects their choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, social anxiety, and managing mood by testing new ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can help with rumination, compassion fatigue, and responses to trauma triggers.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients often combine elements from different approaches to get what works best for them.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and changing needs.
