Background and approach
Christianne uses evidence-based ideas while keeping conversations grounded and relatable. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma and attachment issues, and challenges tied to caregiving and chronic illness. She also supports people working through career stress, identity questions such as LGBT concerns, and the effects of adoption or abandonment on relationships.
Christianne blends approaches like cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-focused work, and acceptance-based strategies to meet each person where they are. She emphasizes building self-compassion and practical coping tools that fit daily life. Many people find this mix helpful when facing transitions or repeated patterns they want to change.

How attachment, acceptance, and practical therapies work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small, value-driven steps even when things feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize those patterns and practice new, healthier ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then suggest a mix of methods. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels useful in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy practical and flexible.
