About Christine
She emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. Christine helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and try practical steps to change them. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals.
Mindfulness is woven into her work as a way to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about changing habits or priorities. Together these methods are used to address issues such as midlife questions, life purpose, and coping with transitions.
Christine has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including control issues, family problems, eating and food-related issues, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm thoughts. She also works with people affected by first responder stress and disruptive mood patterns. Her practice pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term meaning-making.
People who choose her can expect a warm, respectful setting where the focus is on practical change and clearer direction. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and build tools that fit daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead while offering support for mood and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood, and it often includes homework like thought records and behavior experiments that adapt well to remote work.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting the plan as needed. That collaborative stance helps people try practical tools and notice what helps most.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy day. It also supports using written exercises, worksheets, and brief between-session check-ins to keep progress moving without adding longer trips or extra time commitments.
