She brings ten years of clinical experience and a history of working across levels of care with mental health and substance use concerns. Christiane emphasizes a practical, strengths-based approach that balances acceptance of current realities with steps toward growth and improved well-being.
Her style blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with relational perspectives to help clients clarify values, improve communication, and develop coping skills. She also integrates mindfulness and trauma-informed techniques as appropriate, and uses motivational strategies to encourage sustainable change.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more balanced, practical alternatives; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central concerns, offering structured strategies to improve interaction and resolve conflicts. Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated as well to build present-moment awareness and emotion regulation skills that complement cognitive and relational work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christiane frames this as a collaborative decision. She will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, then recommend or blend methods that fit the situation rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and on different schedules. These formats support ongoing work between sessions and allow for flexible ways to practice skills, check in on progress, and stay connected to a licensed professional without requiring travel.
