How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into specific patterns. Christine uses CBT techniques to help people challenge negative thinking, try small behavioral changes, and measure progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then tailor tools and pacing to each person in a collaborative way.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or letting someone choose a quieter setting that works for them. Therapists commonly use structured exercises, breathing and grounding practices, and homework that can be done between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
