Christine emphasizes strengths and resilience over labels. She helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior, practice new ways of responding, and build self-compassion. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide short-term goal setting and problem solving.

Her background includes work across the lifespan, with experience supporting people through perinatal mood concerns, aging and caregiver stress, attachment challenges, and issues around body image or shame. That range informs a flexible approach tailored to what each person needs.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. Christine aims to keep therapy practical and grounded, helping people develop skills they can use between sessions. If you want to learn more about session options, confirm current formats before booking.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals are set together and progress moves at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust over time. That collaborative stance helps decide whether the emphasis should be on exploring feelings, building skills, or setting short-term goals.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from wherever scheduling works best. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals will work with clients to choose a format that matches their needs, goals, and day-to-day routines.
