Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore feelings, values, and goals - this approach supports identity work, self-esteem, and relational growth. CBT is a skills-oriented method that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more effective behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Christine also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when appropriate - DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to stay connected from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, accessible support while adapting tools and exercises to suit remote sessions.
