Step 3
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions based on values rather than worry. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change feelings and daily routines. It works well for mood, sleep, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interpersonal concerns and supports work on connection and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christianne works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. She will adjust tools and pacing based on what helps the client make steady progress.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes follow-up easier, and supports consistent check-ins during life transitions. Phone or video options can make shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or fitting a session into a work break simpler, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
