Background and approach

Her practice pays attention to the everyday impacts of these problems on work, family life, and daily routine. In sessions she listens first, then helps people set short-term and longer-term goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits.

The client-centered side means the person's priorities shape the plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Christine brings eleven years of counseling experience to her work as an LPC. She has practiced in clinical settings and supports people working through complicated combinations of concerns, such as co-occurring anxiety and substance use or trauma and mood symptoms.

Her approach aims to make therapy useful and relevant to what a person needs now. Practical tools, steady support, and clear steps forward are central to her work. People who want concrete strategies paired with empathetic listening often find this combination helpful.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online

Christine uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That means listening closely, reflecting back what is said, and shaping goals together so work in therapy matches daily priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT techniques are practical and often involve brief exercises or experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change patterns that interfere with work and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and messaging let people check in or do shorter, focused work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
