About Christine

Her style is respectful, direct, and flexible to each person’s needs. Christine tailors conversations and plans to fit what each person brings to sessions.
Background and approach
She draws on practical tools for coping, problem solving, and improving communication. She also uses emotion-focused methods to strengthen connections and address painful feelings. In practice she blends approaches to match a person’s goals.
That mix can include cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation, and attachment-informed work to improve closeness and trust. Sessions focus on real-world skills and small steps people can try between meetings. She has practiced in personal settings for many years and holds licensure in Arizona and Indiana.
Her background includes work with people facing trauma, addictions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, career transitions, and end-of-life concerns. Christine emphasizes respect for varied lifestyles and spiritual paths. People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely, offers clear options, and supports steady progress.
She encourages questions and partners with clients to set practical goals and track change over time.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how we connect and feel safe with others. Online sessions use questions and reflective dialogue to identify patterns in relationships and to practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Online CBT breaks problems into steps and gives simple exercises and thought records people can use between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people tune into emotions and strengthen bonds. Even over video or phone, EFT guides people to name and work with feelings that underlie conflicts or loneliness.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed until something fits the client's needs and rhythm.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
