Background and approach
Sessions aim to build small, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Her style leans toward listening first and tailoring techniques to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and on cognitive behavioral practices to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness exercises are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Christine often supports people facing parenting stress, addiction concerns, grief, and identity-related issues. She also addresses more specific struggles such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems.
These areas are handled with attention to the client's background and values. Practical goals guide the work together. Christine helps clients set realistic steps for coping with daily life, improving relationships, and managing mood or attention difficulties.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness for change.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person first by following their concerns and goals, offering a listening stance that helps people feel heard and understood. It is useful for building trust and deciding which direction the work should take.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties to create concrete behavior changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships become a source of repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that fit your life and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging helps when people want a quick written touchpoint. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity between sessions.
