How Christine’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about what matters and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build insight and confidence.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins from wherever you are. It also makes it possible to share homework materials, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum during periods of change.
