Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to the client’s own strengths. Christine emphasizes that the person in therapy is the expert on their own life, and she works to build on what already helps. Her approach blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and clarify values.
She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to deepen understanding and connection to what matters. Dialectical strategies are used when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way. Christine has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and chronic health challenges.
She also addresses adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, and caregiver stress. Her practice supports people dealing with life transitions and complex, co-occurring concerns. Therapy with her is collaborative.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice skills between sessions, and track progress. The aim is to reduce distress and strengthen everyday coping so people can move forward with more confidence.
Practical therapy approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life changes because it focuses on action that matters even when thoughts are uncomfortable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and managing addictive patterns through concrete exercises and practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust the methods over time so the work fits the person’s schedule and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to have brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time, helping therapy fit into busy days.
