Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify concerns, and supports personal growth. This approach works well for people seeking understanding, self-direction, and stronger self-awareness.

Motivational Interviewing is a goal-oriented, compassionate method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is useful for making shifts in behavior, increasing commitment to goals, and moving through transitional challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps clients stay engaged and make practical changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, manage caregiving responsibilities, or access support from different locations. With a variety of communication options, therapists can tailor interactions to what feels most helpful and sustainable for each person.
