How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The therapist helps you name your priorities and builds sessions around your experience and goals, which can be especially useful during pregnancy or big life changes.

Motivational interviewing helps when you feel unsure about making changes. It uses questions and gentle feedback to help you weigh options and find your own reasons to try something different, useful for shifts like parenting adjustments or recovery from postpartum depression.

Solution-focused therapy narrows in on small, practical steps. Sessions often set one or two concrete goals to try between meetings, which can reduce overwhelm and create quick wins.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christine will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as needs evolve.
