About Christine
Clients can expect an interactive style that focuses on real change rather than long theory talks. Christine uses clear feedback and collaborative goal-setting to shape each plan. She often asks people to try small, specific steps between meetings and then reviews what worked and what did not.
Her work has included mood disorders, grief, bipolar and depression, addictions, and coping with life changes. Christine also addresses issues around self-esteem, intimacy, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and caregiving stress. She draws on multiple approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Christine is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. She practices from Colorado and conducts sessions in English. International clients are accepted through the platform, and she aims to help people fit therapy into busy lives.
To begin she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on availability. Her approach is practical, conversational, and aimed at helping people take steps toward a more manageable and satisfying life.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes the conversation around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines skill-building around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication; it can be useful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and situation. She will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most, and she involves clients in planning next steps.
The therapist's biography notes a preference for messaging and live messaging therapy, which can give people more time to think about their replies and absorb responses. If you prefer other formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people try exercises between messages or meetings.
