How Christine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. It helps people clarify values, feel understood, and decide next steps that make sense for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to manage stress and emotional reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will help identify which techniques feel useful and adjust the plan together as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can still offer practical benefits: it can make scheduling easier around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can fit therapy into busy days. Many clients find that using CBT worksheets, brief mindfulness practices, and motivational conversations translate well to remote sessions when those formats are available.
