Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine Frederick uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to help individuals explore values and personal strengths.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms and developing new coping strategies.

Solution-focused therapy is used to help clients set clear, achievable goals and to build on immediate strengths and resources. This brief, goal-oriented approach is often useful when clients want focused progress on specific issues such as relationship problems, substance use concerns, or stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity of support, and access a licensed professional from home or another convenient location.
