She focuses on helping people build skills for emotional regulation, improved communication, and better daily functioning. The practice emphasizes practical steps toward stability and growth.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy concerns and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will listen to each person’s goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs shift during treatment.

Session format options are not specified in the profile, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care and bring therapy into everyday routines without major scheduling disruption.
