How Christine Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects understanding, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach fits issues like self-esteem, cultural concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Christine may use simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools can help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to work well in remote sessions, focusing on practical skills and clear goals.
