She encourages people to reach out when they are ready and collaborates with them to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Christine uses a combination of Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, accepting relationship so clients can explore feelings at their own pace and strengthen self-understanding - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, with techniques that clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their goals, preferences and life circumstances. She adapts methods over time, combining insight-oriented exploration with skill-based interventions as needed to support progress.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family and other commitments.
