How Christine’s methods translate to online therapy
Christine uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity; online meetings can reproduce that conversational space for exploring problems and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online session clients and the therapist can review thought patterns, set small experiments, and track changes between meetings. Mindfulness practices are also easy to introduce remotely, with short guided exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods to emphasize. That plan can shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to blend talking, skills practice, and brief coaching in ways that suit everyday life.
