Background and approach
She also uses Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and reduce recurring fights in relationships. Sessions typically focus on concrete tools and clear goals rather than only talking about problems. With 12 years of professional experience, Christanne combines short-term problem-solving with attention to ongoing stresses like workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.
She works with people who want relief now and skills to maintain gains afterward. Conversations often include practical exercises and homework tailored to each person’s routine. Christanne practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English.
Her approach balances encouragement with accountability, helping clients try new behaviors and reflect on what works. She aims to create a calm space for honest conversation and steady progress. People who choose her often want help that is goal-oriented, collaborative, and tied to everyday life.
Christanne emphasizes real-world strategies that can be used between sessions to improve mood, relationships, and coping with change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress. It often uses short exercises and clear homework that fit well into online formats like video or text-based check-ins.The Gottman Method centers on improving how people talk and solve problems together. Online sessions can include guided conversations, role plays, and communication exercises that partners can practice between meetings to rebuild trust and reduce repeated fights.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims at small, attainable goals and the steps that lead to them. This approach is especially useful when someone wants quick, practical changes and it adapts easily to brief phone or chat sessions for focused problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and lifestyle. That decision is revisited over time as needs change and progress is assessed.
Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins, exercises between sessions, or ongoing encouragement that fits a busy day.
