About Christine
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. Christine blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach practical coping tools. She draws from Solution-Focused Therapy when people want short-term, goal-oriented changes.
Her style is calm and nonjudgmental. She explains strategies plainly and practices them together with the person in session. Christine emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time rather than rapid fixes.
Before becoming an LPC she worked as a counselor, skills coach, and crisis counselor. That background shaped her focus on skills training and on steady support during difficult moments. She brings six years of counseling experience to her practice.
Sessions typically look like a mix of talking through problems, learning new coping skills, and testing those skills in daily life. Christine helps people clarify values, set realistic goals, and handle communication or family-of-origin issues that get in the way of progress. She aims to empower clients to build more satisfying routines and relationships.
How ACT and CBT translate to online work
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for life transitions, anxiety, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills and homework exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one fixed method will be best.
Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between appointments in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help clients build consistent coping strategies that carry into daily life.
