Christine Comito , AASW

Christine Comito offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. She focuses on women's issues among other concerns and helps clients untangle family conflict, low self-worth and isolation. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable.

Christine is an AASW social worker with eight years' experience. She has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain and the emotional impact of neurodiversity. Her background gives her experience with communication problems, codependency and the confusion that can come in midlife.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what each person needs. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people identify patterns, try new coping strategies and set small, achievable goals. Conversations are paced to suit the client and to build skills that can be used between sessions.

Christine works with adults on issues such as stress, family problems and life purpose. She also has experience supporting people living with intellectual disability, autism or chronic health conditions. Her goal is to help clients feel more able to cope and to make choices that reflect their values.

Practical tools, clear explanations and gentle encouragement are a consistent part of her work. People are invited to bring their concerns and to take part in planning what comes next. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine uses a handful of evidence-based techniques to tackle everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to choose actions that match personal values, useful for coping and life direction.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Christine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so they match a client's pace and what they find most helpful.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth situations or shorter check-ins, and messaging or chat can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and communication styles.
