Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dr. Christensen uses methods that translate well to remote sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing damaging patterns between partners by teaching practical skills for conflict and connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can guide the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will review your goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. Together you can try techniques and adjust the plan so it fits your life and the problems you want to address.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual feedback. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
