Therapeutic approaches and online care with Christie Jacobus

Christie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and priorities. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people build self-understanding so they can make meaningful changes in relationships and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior that interferes with daily life. For couples and relationship work she integrates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication, reduce conflict cycles, and strengthen emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Licensed professionals often combine techniques to meet complex needs and support steady improvement.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving responsibilities, or unpredictable shifts in daily life, while maintaining continuity of support across transitions.
