Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Christine often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name the emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal reactions; this approach is useful when the goal is to improve connection and emotional responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows up as simple practices to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to clarify values that guide day-to-day choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out small behavioral experiments to change how things feel. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the plan as progress is made or new concerns come up. Online formats make it practical to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to give flexibility while keeping focus on the steps that help someone move forward.
