How Christine uses common approaches in online sessions
Christine often blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address problems like anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and what they want to change. It helps people set the agenda and identify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building readiness for change and clarifying personal reasons to try new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. She starts by asking about goals and routines, then suggests steps and checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Her profile lists messaging, live chat, and phone sessions as offered; confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether you need a shorter check-in, evening availability, or a way to avoid travel. Working remotely can also make it simpler to keep weekly momentum and try new skills between meetings, while the therapist and client adapt the plan to real-world demands.
