About Christine

She approaches care with a belief that the client is the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening first, then building practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Christine uses tools from client-centered work to create a respectful, straightforward space where people can be heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. That approach is shown to help with worry, low mood, and negative self-talk.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another part of her toolbox when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Christine has experience supporting people who are hearing impaired and those facing end-of-life issues through hospice and bereavement work. She combines clear, calm guidance with goals people can measure at home between sessions.
Overall her style is practical and warm. She aims to make the first steps easier and to help people build skills they can use long after sessions end.
How her approaches translate to online care
Christine uses client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person's goals and pace; this means the therapist listens closely and helps shape the work from what matters most to the client. Client-centered work is useful when someone needs emotional support and a space to make sense of their experience.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce worry, lift mood, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are brought in when people need tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping strategies.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means the process can change as needs and priorities become clearer over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people access therapy from wherever they are while keeping focus on the work itself.
