Online support
How Christine’s approaches translate to online care
Christine blends approaches such as the Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address relationships, emotional patterns, and thought habits. The Gottman Method focuses on concrete communication skills and repairing interaction patterns, useful for people wanting clearer conversations and less conflict. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people form steadier emotional responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable alternatives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. She adapts techniques over time so sessions evolve with progress and new concerns.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, useful for deeper conversations and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum while working toward changes.
