Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Christine combines several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering acceptance and empathy so clients can explore their own feelings and values; it is helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to help people address patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and practical difficulties; it usually involves collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions - it can be especially useful for coping with avoidance and increasing psychological flexibility.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match. This collaborative stance helps tailor support for relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, ADHD, caregiving stress, and other concerns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
