Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine Frederick uses evidence-informed approaches that are adaptable to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist helps the client explore their values and choices - this approach is useful for building self-awareness, addressing relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and some habit-related issues. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and small, achievable steps forward, which can be especially helpful when clients want concrete progress in a limited number of sessions.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Christine works with clients to choose or blend approaches based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made. That collaboration helps tailor treatment to what matters most to each person.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people with caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or busy lives to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without added travel time.
