How Christine Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and how they shape relationships and intimacy, helping people express needs and respond to others more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Christine treats it as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they’ll try methods that match those needs. If a technique doesn’t feel helpful, she adjusts the plan and suggests alternatives.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or let someone join without a commute. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through remote work, and Christine will help decide what fits a client’s routine and goals before scheduling.
