How Christine’s Approaches Work Online and in Practice
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, helping people feel heard and helping uncover what matters most. This approach is useful for stress, relationship strain, and parenting concerns because it starts from the client's own goals.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps clarify goals and increase readiness for change. It is practical for people who feel stuck, are weighing options, or want to make shifts in habits or finances.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Christine will help clients choose or combine approaches based on goals, preferences, and what has felt helpful so far. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
For practical matters, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to follow through on small tasks between meetings.
