How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Christie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and improving coping. One common approach is helping clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve decision making. This involves practical skills practice and checking what works between sessions.Another focus is on attachment-related patterns. Sessions look at how early family roles and expectations shape current relationships and communication. The work helps people notice recurring responses to closeness, loss, or control and try new ways of relating that feel more effective.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and comfort level, and adjust techniques as the work progresses. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to emphasize based on what’s most helpful.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins and practice new skills between appointments without rearranging a full day.
