Background and approach

Her style is warm, direct, and non-judgmental, with emphasis on simple communication techniques that can be used right away. Christine draws from several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based tools to build willingness for hard feelings.

She also uses relationship-focused methods when issues center on partnership or family tension. Her typical concerns include stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and relationship conflict. She also works with topics such as parenting, career stress, body image, caregiver burnout, and challenges tied to adoption or attachment wounds.

Sessions can be tailored to cope with life changes, manage avoidance or control issues, and address patterns like codependency or commitment fears. Christine aims to help people make steady, realistic changes and to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Christine commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful thinking. ACT emphasizes noticing values and making space for uncomfortable emotions so people can act toward what matters. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that fuel anxiety or avoidance and on building new behaviors that lead to better outcomes.

She also brings a client-centered stance to online sessions, offering empathy and reflective listening so people feel heard and understood. These approaches are used flexibly; Christine works with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps set clear, practical steps for change.

Online therapy allows sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and teaching interpersonal skills, phone can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break, and text or live chat supports brief check-ins or ongoing processing between sessions. The range of formats aims to make therapy more accessible and easier to maintain alongside daily life.
