Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christie uses several therapy approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust in relationships - it helps people understand how early bonds shape current interactions and supports healing in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Christie works with clients to explore which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these methods to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives, access care from different locations and maintain continuity during transitions. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their situation.
