Approaches that translate to online work
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and clearer patterns. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage strong emotions. These techniques are taught step-by-step and practiced during and between sessions to build confidence.Another approach centers on examining relationship and attachment patterns to improve communication and reduce repeating hurts. This work involves noticing how past experiences shape current reactions and trying new ways of speaking and setting boundaries in everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and hold a longer conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in, helpful for quick coping ideas or between-session support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
