Online session options
Approaches you can use online
Christine often blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people reshape the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problems so they can examine how a story was created and choose different responses; it can help with identity, shame, and repeated relationship patterns. Client-centered work keeps the conversation grounded in the person's priorities, offering acceptance and reflection so people feel heard and clearer about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at practical patterns of thought and behavior, teaching concrete coping strategies for anxiety, mood changes, and daily stress.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their temperament and situation, and adjust the plan as progress or needs change. That process is gradual and guided by what the client finds most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins, mood tracking, or brief skill practice. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different ways of communicating while working toward clearer patterns and better coping.
