Background and approach
Christine uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness work. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and practice present-moment awareness. Sessions often mix skill-building with supportive discussion to address immediate concerns and longer-term goals.
She also addresses areas such as grief, sleep issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and workplace stress. Additional focus includes body image, caregiver strain, multicultural and prejudice-related stress, seasonal mood changes, and issues common to young adults and women. Therapy can include coaching-style support when helpful, and plans are shaped around what the client wants to achieve.
Christine encourages small, practical changes that add up over time and supports people as they try new ways of coping.
Approaches that fit online therapy
Christine often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practice to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions, helping clients test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions blend supportive conversation, practical exercises, and skill practice chosen together with the client.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick access between sessions or a way to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, and travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
