About Christine
Christine Perez is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, empathetic style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her aim is to make therapy practical and easy to follow for people juggling busy lives.
She draws on client-centered methods to build a trusting, respectful space. That makes it easier to talk about hard topics like self-esteem, emptiness, or problems at work.
Background and approach
Christine also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are part of sessions when they fit a person’s goals. Those tools can help calm racing thoughts and increase ability to cope with strong feelings.
Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and track progress between meetings. Christine has worked with a wide range of concerns across many years, including postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and first responder stress. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions, forgiveness, infidelity, and family problems by focusing on what they want to change.
Her style is practical and gentle. Sessions emphasize clear steps, small experiments, and skills people can use right away. The goal is steady improvement and more confidence in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. Online sessions using this approach center on understanding what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their goals rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; in remote sessions this often means practical homework and short exercises between meetings to track patterns and progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. This is a collaborative process that looks at the person’s needs, preferences, and life context to decide which techniques to emphasize.
Online formats offer flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
