Background and approach

She also addresses emotions like guilt, shame, isolation, and difficulty finding life purpose. Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic tools that fit a person's day-to-day life. Christine uses a mix of well-known therapeutic techniques and insight-oriented work to match each person’s needs.

She speaks plainly about coping strategies and helps people practice new ways of thinking and behaving. She is attentive to how gender, race, class, and sexual orientation shape each person’s experience. People who prefer collaborative, down-to-earth therapy often find her style helpful.

She encourages gradual change and supports clients through setbacks as part of the process. Her work aims to rebuild confidence and strengthen coping skills. Christine completed a Master of Divinity, a Master of Social Work, and a master’s in clinical psychology, and she uses that varied training to inform her work.

She offers sessions in English from California and works with a wide range of stress- and mood-related concerns.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christine commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different reactions, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms through step-by-step exercises. She also uses acceptance and commitment style ideas that help people clarify values and build small actions toward a more meaningful life, useful for low mood and life-purpose concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit what feels most useful. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on skills practice, insight work, or a combination of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility and allow progress to continue even when schedules are tight.
