She also addresses abandonment, avoidant personality concerns, family of origin issues, guilt, shame, and self-love. Women's issues are a named focus in her practice.

People who value a direct, compassionate approach often find her style helpful. She invites curiosity about patterns that keep people stuck and offers concrete alternatives. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process rather than a single event.

Approaches and how online therapy fits your life

Christine uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replaces them with more useful thinking, which can ease anxiety, shame, and low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation, which is often helpful in addiction recovery and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine treats approach selection as a collaboration, matching methods to a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and invites feedback to keep therapy useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent therapeutic support.
