How Christine uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set priorities. This approach helps when people need someone who will listen and help them clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT often includes homework, short experiments, and skill-building that target anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Christine will review the client's needs, goals, and preferences and together decide what to try first. That process is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow use of digital tools like apps or shared worksheets between meetings. They can also support quieter check-ins or brief skill practice when a longer in-person visit is harder to schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets or mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
