Online session options
How narrative and action-oriented approaches work online
Christine blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered listening. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories so they can consider new possibilities and rewrite difficult patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that reflect those values. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes being heard and understood so people feel safe to try new ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christine works with clients to find what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods as progress is made and invites regular feedback so sessions stay useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want visual connection. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less data when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on real change.
