About Christine
Her sessions are grounded in a client-centered approach that treats each person with respect and without judgment. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas are added when people need practical skills for emotion regulation and coping.
Christine adapts the work to fit each person’s situation. That can mean short-term problem solving, working through grief or trauma, or developing plans for managing bipolar symptoms or ADHD. She also addresses issues such as codependency, abandonment or attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related problems.
People who come to her can expect a straightforward, human approach. She balances listening with offering concrete strategies and homework when that helps. The goal is clearer thinking, better daily coping, and stronger relationships.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session. Christine aims to walk alongside people as they make practical changes and build a more manageable life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard while exploring what they want to change. It supports concerns like grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions by centering the person's perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms by giving concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. These skills can be useful for impulse control, emotional overwhelm, and relationship stress.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Licensed professionals can guide clients in using these approaches effectively through remote sessions when the format matches their needs.
