Approaches that translate well to online care

Christine often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and helping them set the pace for change. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work toward their own goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors by teaching skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another tool she brings in to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help during intense moments and support better coping over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress and life circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video and phone sessions allow for real-time conversations and deeper work. Live chat and messaging give extra time to think and respond, and can be useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
