How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. In practice this means the therapist helps the client notice what already helps them cope and then tries small ways to use those strengths more often. It is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and parenting strains.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavioral experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving clear steps to test and change patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and immediate next steps. People work on clear, measurable changes and track progress week to week. This approach is helpful when you want fast, concrete improvements for everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on how the client responds and what life demands require.
