She has supported individuals and families through relationship challenges, family conflicts, parenting struggles, issues with motivation and self esteem, and recovery from trauma.

Christine approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can be mobilized to overcome life’s challenges.

Approaches Christine Uses in Online Therapy

Christine integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work; it helps people clarify values, build self-awareness, and strengthen personal agency. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be especially helpful for intense mood swings and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan remains responsive and client-driven.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, helping clients fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
