With three years of clinical experience, Christine aims to meet people where they are and collaborate on steps that feel manageable and relevant to daily life. Her practice integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based perspectives to address patterns that contribute to distress.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her approach, focusing on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods feel most useful given their goals, circumstances, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work evolves to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Christine is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These remote formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
