Online support

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Care Online

Christine often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past patterns affect current relationships. This approach looks at how people seek comfort and connection, and it can help when partners feel distant or repeatedly triggered. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners identify core emotions and respond to each other in ways that build safety and closeness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she brings into online work to address anxious thoughts and stress that interfere with intimacy. CBT focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that feed worry and avoidant responses. Christine aims to blend these approaches based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she collaborates with clients to find what fits best rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial expressions and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Text and chat options support brief check-ins, reflection, and homework prompts between sessions. These formats help clients fit work on relationships into busy lives.
