Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so daily life feels more manageable. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions and improve how they relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christine works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. Together they will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time to match progress and preference.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also lets therapists use exercises and tools that translate well to remote conversations, so sessions can focus on skills practice, problem solving, and emotional processing without requiring a commute.
