Background and approach
With 11 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs and goals. Christine emphasizes meeting clients where they are and building on existing strengths to promote clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.
Her practice is informed by client-centered values and practical strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that encourages self-awareness, self-compassion, and forward movement.
Christine also works with issues that can accompany life transitions and relationships, including caregiving stress, attachment and communication problems, body image, grief, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Clients who choose Christine can expect a collaborative relationship that values their perspective while offering structured approaches when helpful.
Her goal is to help people identify manageable steps toward change, strengthen coping skills, and find more balance in daily life.
Evidence-Based Methods Adapted for Online Work
Christine integrates cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered principles when working remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood; it is often useful for stress, depression, and specific worry patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while exploring values, relationships, and personal goals. Mindfulness Therapy offers techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to blend structured strategies and person-centered support based on the client’s needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between meetings, all while allowing licensed professionals to guide goal-setting and skill building from a distance.
