She has 13 years of clinical experience and a background helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and grief.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace so goals come from the client's priorities rather than a preset plan.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. The plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The original profile did not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to follow through on skills practice between meetings and to keep momentum when life gets hectic.
