Approaches used and how online work can fit

Christine often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist follows what matters most to the person and offers a respectful space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice their bodies and thoughts without getting swept up in them. These skills can be useful for managing worry, sleep disruption, chronic pain, or strong emotions that come with grief and caregiving stress. Finding the right mix is collaborative - Christine will work with each person to pick approaches that match their needs and goals and adjust as progress unfolds.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, avoid camera use if that feels uncomfortable, or offer sessions during a break at work. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions fit into your routine and goals.
