Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Christine uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's goals and experiences guide each session; this approach helps people who want a strengths-based, supportive environment to explore emotions and life choices.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. In addition, Christine draws on EMDR to address traumatic memories and the intense emotions they can trigger, using structured processing techniques to reduce distress and build adaptive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative, and she adapts strategies over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to access services from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, goal-focused support while accommodating varying levels of comfort with technology and communication styles.
