Christine also supports those navigating career challenges, caregiver stress, and the effects of major life changes. Her work draws on client-centered ideas that place the person’s goals first.

She aims to create a calm, direct space where worries can be named and worked through. People come to her for a range of concerns, including parenting challenges, substance use, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is flexible and shaped by each person’s needs and goals as they move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. In online sessions this means conversations that follow the person’s priorities and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress through short practical tasks and homework. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and trying new ways of connecting. EFT is useful when relationship concerns or intimacy issues are central to the work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods, and work together to decide what fits best. This is a collaborative process that adapts as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you read facial cues during emotional conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or quick coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
