About Christine
She uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, listen-first atmosphere. That means she starts by understanding a person's priorities and works from there. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors between sessions.
Christine has supported people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction-related challenges. She also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, and attention-related concerns. Her experience includes helping people cope when major life changes feel overwhelming.
Sessions focus on setting clear goals and developing simple tools to use day to day. That might include small behavior experiments, coping plans for anxiety or strategies to improve sleep and routines. Progress is tracked in ways that match each person's needs and lifestyle.
She works in straightforward language and prioritizes practical steps over jargon. People who want a collaborative, goal-focused approach often find this style helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Christine's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens carefully, follows the person's lead, and helps them set goals that matter. This approach supports people who need someone to hear them and help them sort what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors and try small experiments to change them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit each person's needs. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and help people keep appointments during work breaks, school schedules, or caregiving duties. Confirm the specific session options offered before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Licensed professionals can provide the same therapeutic tools and goal-setting work online as in person, and sessions can include homework, tracking, and brief check-ins to support steady progress.
