Sessions often include talking through immediate concerns, building coping skills for anxiety and mood, and finding ways to improve everyday functioning.
Background and approach
Christine emphasizes the client’s strengths and past successes when planning next steps. Her background includes work in healthcare, group homes, schools, and correctional settings. That range of settings means she has experience with a wide variety of life situations, from chronic health issues to complex trauma and adjustment after major life events.
Christine works with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, parenting and family challenges, mood disorders, and the impact of chronic pain or illness. She also supports people facing life transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, adoption and foster care concerns, or questions about life purpose and finances. Therapy is collaborative and straightforward.
Christine helps people identify goals, try practical strategies, and adjust those strategies based on what works. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many evidence-based techniques focus on learning concrete skills to reduce distress. For example, skill-building work teaches practical tools to manage anxiety and stress, like breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. These strategies aim to produce small, measurable changes in day-to-day functioning.Another common focus is processing trauma and its effects through careful, paced conversations and stabilization techniques that help reduce overwhelming feelings. This work supports people who struggle with past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or difficult life events by helping them regain control over their reactions and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, day-to-day skill practice, and people who prefer written communication. These options give flexibility to continue work on stress, anxiety, and relationships in ways that fit a person’s life.
