About Christine

Christine Fuchs-Gosselin is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people face common life challenges. She focuses on practical strategies for stress, anxiety, motivation concerns, addiction, anger, and low self-esteem. Her way of working centers on clients' strengths and choices.

She offers steady support while people take the first steps toward change. She starts by listening to each person's story and priorities. Using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, she helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build small, manageable habits.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and boost internal motivation. Her approach also draws on psychodynamic ideas when helpful, looking at patterns that repeat over time. This can be useful for concerns like relationship strain, attachment issues, or long-standing emotional reactions.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most right now. Clients can expect practical exercises and gentle reflection between sessions. The work often includes learning new coping skills for sleep, eating, or mood regulation.

Christine frames progress as steady steps rather than sudden fixes. Located in Florida, she provides care in English and uses a collaborative style. The emphasis is on clear goals, realistic strategies, and supporting people as they build more satisfying daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and everyday change

Christine blends cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts, behaviors, and awareness. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful responses, which many people find helpful for anxiety, stress, sleep, and mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help manage overwhelming emotions.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness and commitment to change. This method focuses on personal values and goals and helps people move from thinking about change to taking small actions. Together these approaches aim to build practical skills while staying connected to what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and it is done collaboratively. The therapist will listen to concerns, try options that fit the person's goals, and adjust methods over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to share preferences so the plan feels realistic and relevant.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and connect from home or work when it suits the client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
