How her approaches work online and what to expect
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths. In this approach the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to help clarify values and goals, which can be useful for anxiety or relationship stress.Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to uncover personal reasons for trying something different, which can support progress on issues like caregiving strain or substance-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss these styles and tailor sessions to the client's needs, goals, and preferences so each plan fits real life. This is a collaborative process where pace and focus are adjusted over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat or messaging works well for short check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and try different formats to see what helps most.
