How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, coping, and managing symptoms day to day. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding emotions in close relationships and changing interaction patterns to improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine tailors techniques to each person's goals and preferences. She collaborates with clients to try methods and adjust them so sessions feel useful and realistic for daily life.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people focus on skills practice between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation for problem solving.
