Background and approach

Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, chronic pain, hospice and end-of-life matters, multicultural issues, and seasonal affective disorder. That background informs how she frames coping strategies and plans for daily life. She focuses on what helps a person function better day to day.

Therapy sessions are collaborative. Christine will work with each person to build goals and a plan that feel achievable. She emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while encouraging realistic, stepwise change.

If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through initial steps and the practical choices involved in ongoing care. Her practice centers on steady support, problem solving, and helping people move toward more manageable routines and improved well-being.

Evidence-based techniques for online care

Many of the methods Christine uses are evidence-based and straightforward to adapt to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Behavioral activation emphasizes small, achievable activities that rebuild routines and improve mood, useful for depression and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time, combining methods in ways that make sense for the individual rather than sticking to a single formula.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around busy lives and health needs, and they allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Many people appreciate the flexibility of brief check-ins by chat or text alongside longer video sessions.
