Approaches that guide online work

Christine uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. This approach breaks worries into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for everyday situations.

She also draws on mindfulness-based stress reduction, which offers brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can be used between sessions to calm intense moments.

Narrative techniques are used to look at personal stories people tell about themselves and try new, more helpful meanings. This can help change how someone sees challenges and opens up different choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client figure out which methods match the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging helps keep a conversation going between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or busy days.
