Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people identify and change patterns in how they experience and express emotions, which can be useful for intimacy issues and deep relationship-related distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and values-based action, helping people live in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current behavior and trust, which can help when abandonment, attachment, or related wounds are part of the problem.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in between appointments or have shorter, focused conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it around work, care tasks, or other obligations.
