She supports people in naming those patterns and testing small changes that can alter how they feel day to day.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills. Cognitive-style work examines thought patterns that fuel anxiety and social fear, and teaches ways to test and shift those thoughts. This approach helps with persistent worry and social anxiety by offering concrete experiments to try between meetings.Behavioral strategies are also used to break larger problems into smaller, manageable steps. These techniques encourage gradual practice of new behaviors to reduce avoidance, manage stress, and rebuild confidence after loss or life change. They aim to make daily routines feel more doable rather than overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. Clients are invited to report what works and what does not so the plan can shift in a practical way.
