She brings 27 years of practice to sessions and focuses on practical ways to make life a bit more manageable. She talks plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.

Christine treats depression, bipolar mood concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges connected to ADHD and caregiver strain. She also helps with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems. She works with clients facing major life changes and those coping with compassion fatigue.

Her style centers on recognizing each person's strengths and using those strengths to move forward. She encourages small, doable steps and clear problem-solving. Many clients find this approach helpful when they need relief from overwhelming emotions or repeated patterns that no longer serve them.

Christine is licensed in New Hampshire as an LCSW, which stands for licensed clinical social worker. Her background includes nearly three decades of clinical work supporting people through hard transitions and complex life stressors. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan from there.

To begin, she asks questions about current struggles, goals, and daily routines so work in sessions can focus on what's practical and relevant. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, with room to adjust strategies as needs change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear strategies that help with symptoms and daily functioning. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches tools for managing stress and anxiety, like breathing, scheduling, and breaking problems into steps. This kind of work helps when worry or overwhelm get in the way of everyday tasks.

Another useful method centers on processing trauma and strong emotions through paced conversations and coping plans. That approach helps people reduce the hold of painful memories and learn ways to respond differently when triggers appear. These explanations are general descriptions of approaches she uses in practice.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers ways to keep steady treatment during life changes while the therapist and client focus on real-world goals and coping skills.
