Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help

Christine uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust. This approach helps people address attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles by identifying and reshaping relational patterns.

She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and meeting people where they are. This approach supports self-esteem, emotional expression, and personal growth by creating a supportive space for clients to discover their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to blend elements from different approaches when that serves the client's progress.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and to continue work on stress, relationships, anxiety, and mood from wherever the client is located.
