How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and people feeling stuck in old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and routine reactions. It suits stress, worry, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can help when relationship patterns or trust issues show up. Christie views the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will work with each person to weigh what feels most useful and adjust methods over time based on progress and preferences. That means trying different strategies and focusing on the ones that produce realistic improvements in day-to-day life. The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in their everyday context and bring real-life situations into conversation with a licensed professional.
