Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine uses a mix of client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify what matters to them and change patterns that cause distress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your pace so you feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for coping and making changes.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas when working on relationship and intimacy issues, helping people notice how early patterns affect current connections and trust. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship strain, jealousy, and stress linked to life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods that fit your needs. Expect clear explanations of techniques and time to try them in ways that suit your life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs, or for having a shorter check-in when time is tight. The therapist can help decide how to structure sessions so they fit into your routine.
