Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and ongoing relationship patterns shape how people connect with others. In online work this approach helps explore intimacy, trust, and attachment-related difficulties that affect current relationships and emotional safety.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and strengths, with the therapist offering empathy, unconditional regard, and collaborative listening. This style supports self-exploration, decision-making, and coping during life transitions or periods of stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, easier access from home or work, and the ability to maintain continuity of care between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively deliver these approaches remotely, providing practical guidance, emotional support, and skill-building across the formats that suit a person's life.
