Approaches to online care and finding the right fit
Christine blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change everyday thoughts and habits. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotions run high. DBT-style tools teach skills for managing strong feelings and improving emotional regulation, which can help with anger, mood swings, and impulsive behaviors. Choosing an approach is a team effort and Christine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
