Online session options

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Christine commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at patterns in those stories and helps people try new, more helpful ways of understanding their lives.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. That work focuses on building clearer understanding and steadier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice too, which emphasizes being heard and respected while clients set the pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options work well for short check-ins or people who prefer written exchanges. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
