About Christine
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She builds a respectful space where people can talk honestly about what feels hard. Conversations are practical and focused on steps people can try between sessions.
Christine uses a mix of approaches based on each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered listening to follow the client's concerns and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness tools are offered to support emotional regulation and calm in stressful moments.
She pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings, and will bring in psychodynamic ideas when exploring those patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, achievable short-term goals so progress is visible and measurable.
Sessions aim to help people build stronger coping skills, healthier boundaries, and clearer direction during midlife or other transitions. Christine emphasizes small, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life. If someone wants a straightforward, empathic approach to make practical improvements, she can be a collaborative guide.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set work that feels relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaboration can include mixing approaches as needs change over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and keep continuity when life gets hectic. It also allows for different kinds of check-ins and homework that are easier to practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can help adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets to the online setting so progress continues between sessions.
