Approaches that guide online care and what they do

Christine commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood. These techniques focus on small, practical experiments and skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also uses elements of mindfulness to teach attention and grounding strategies that reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management. Mindfulness exercises are short and can be adapted to fit busy days or work breaks.

Christine integrates psychodynamic ideas when it helps to notice long-standing patterns in relationships or self-view. That work looks at repeating themes and how past experiences influence present choices, usually at a pace the client finds comfortable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit quick updates or brief coaching between sessions.
