About Christine

Christine Taber is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 16 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her work centers on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Christine uses a supportive, strengths-based style. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and asks questions that help clarify what matters most. Sessions focus on small, doable changes that build toward larger goals.

Background and approach

She often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to increase motivation. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on what is already working and expand those patterns. These approaches keep conversations focused and forward-moving.

In a session Christine listens for practical barriers and helps break them into manageable steps. She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation and helps people develop coping strategies for those moments. Communication skills and forgiveness work often appear when relationship stress is part of the problem.

Clients who have served in the military or who face mood concerns can bring those topics into sessions for targeted support. Christine encourages people to try brief exercises, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation for goals like improving mood or reducing anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented and brief. It focuses on current strengths and small changes that move someone toward the life they want.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust them over time if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or shorter workday breaks. These options let people fit work on mood, motivation, communication skills, and coping strategies into busy lives.
