Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy Options

Christine Selario works with established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and build new skills. One approach focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depression and to manage panic symptoms. Another approach centers on family and relational work, helping improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support families through transitions such as adoption or foster care. A complementary emphasis is placed on skills-based coping - practical stress management and relapse-prevention strategies that support recovery from addictions and adjustment to life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine partners with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, and receive timely support in ways that fit a client’s schedule and lifestyle.
