Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes practical strategies - such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building new coping skills - while maintaining an empathetic, client-focused stance. Her practice addresses many concerns including self-esteem, career challenges, addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting struggles, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Christine also works with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other co-occurring conditions, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s history and goals. She offers sessions through multiple online formats to increase accessibility for clients across Texas.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a blend of skill-building and supportive listening. Christine holds the LPC credential and applies evidence-informed techniques to help clients navigate change, reduce symptoms, and develop sustainable coping strategies.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, learn practical coping strategies, and develop behavioral changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. That approach focuses on concrete skills and homework between sessions to reinforce progress.

She also incorporates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each persons priorities. This method supports emotional processing and collaborative goal-setting, making it useful for relationship issues, grief, and life adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works together with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically include assessment and discussion of options so the treatment plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide practical flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or work and make it easier to maintain consistent appointments while balancing daily responsibilities.
