01About Christine
Christine Garwick-Foley is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Minnesota. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck by addressing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and stress. Her approach is grounded in listening and practical steps that people can use day to day.
She draws on client-centered work to build trust and a collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift behavior.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings so they can respond more clearly in relationships. Christine has long experience helping people cope with trauma and loss, and she uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when it fits the situation. She also supports people facing body image, eating, sleep, anger, career, and life-change challenges.
Many clients bring complex concerns such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, attachment problems, or family of origin issues. Sessions blend talk with practical tools. Clients work on skills they can use between visits, like new ways of thinking, small behavioral changes, and grounding techniques for intense emotions.
The work aims to reduce immediate distress and build steady coping over time. Christine speaks English and practices from Minnesota. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so the therapy can be set up around their needs and schedule.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify what matters most to them, which can ease anxiety and improve decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it can help with depression, anxiety, sleep, and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. That collaborative process guides whether the focus is on emotions, thinking patterns, or processing traumatic memories.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video sessions let the therapist and client see facial cues and work through emotions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility, make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, and allow consistent follow-up across weeks.
