How Christine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following a person’s lead and honoring their priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist listen deeply and adapt pacing to what the client brings each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change them. Online work can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to use between sessions.DBT helps people learn emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In an online setting this can mean practicing specific skills, tracking progress, and reviewing ways to manage intense emotions in daily life. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She helps clients set goals, tries methods for a time, and adjusts based on what works and what does not. This process is shared and exploratory rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible session times. It also supports using tools like worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and skill practice between meetings to help translate therapy into everyday routines.
