Background and approach
Christine uses humor when appropriate to ease tension and keep conversations grounded in the everyday. Christine draws on client-centered methods that let each person set priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck and want clear steps forward. Her experience includes mood disorders, addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She also works with issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and coping after divorce or separation.
Christine accepts international clients and conducts sessions from Colorado. Many clients choose messaging or live chat because it gives time to reflect before replying. Christine also offers phone and video sessions when those formats suit a person's schedule or needs.
She guides people toward small, achievable changes so progress builds over time.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and pace, giving space to name what matters most and choose steps that feel doable. This approach supports issues like relationship strain, grief, and self-esteem by following the client’s lead and building on strengths.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns by using clear exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. Decisions about techniques and homework happen collaboratively, and adjustments are made as needed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a more face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give extra time to think before replying and can work well for reflective exercises and ongoing coaching between sessions.
