She values collaboration and helps people set realistic goals for change. Her pace is steady, drawing on decades of clinical experience while centering each person’s own strengths. People seeking help can expect clear, concrete strategies alongside empathic listening.
Christine blends clinical knowledge with a pragmatic approach to support coping with life changes, family stress, and parenting challenges.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Christine uses a range of evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world skills. One common approach is skills-based emotional regulation work, which teaches concrete steps to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive reactions; this helps with anger, mood swings, and daily stress. Another strand is communication-focused work that emphasizes clear requests, listening skills, and problem-solving methods to improve family and relationship interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will review your needs, goals, and preferences and then test strategies together to see what fits. The plan can change over time as progress is made and new challenges come up.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief touchpoints or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care.
